Glen Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Howdy all! I am quite happy with the few simple techniques that I learned from my painting classes at ReaperCon. Please keep in mind that this is an unfinished mini. I have paid almost no attention to his head, so yes, it needs work. All I've done so far is base coat and blue/brown line everything. I hope to start on the head and highlights this week. Here he is! Front and his back This mini was a pain for a beginner to work on! Brush access to all those straps and buckles on the back of his legs is blocked by the sash and polearm! My brush control is not good enough to pick out the details while avoiding all the other other intruding parts. Anyway, like I said, this is only basecoated and lined. even so, it still looks better than my previous minis! Let me know what you guys think, Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anastrianna Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 It looks really good Glen! I LOVE your metal. I'm always a fan of realistic (others say 'dirty') armor. Be sure to post updates!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 sounds like your looking/wanting the color Smoke out of the Model Color line, great stuff, just gotta shake shake & shake some more & then thin it & not worry about the chunky bits in it, as they'll go away (also the color seems like it has alot of other colors but when applied it's more brown or a light black) Great stuff Vallejo has a website, just google it, also I know Neal at theWarstore.com has it as well.
