dewen Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 This was my first mini of this kind or attempting anything like it. I tried to add some color to the base to show light from him but I don't think it shows up that great in the pics. I also charred portions of the bushed by painting them dark brown and walnut.

kristof65 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Don't lie - you didn't paint that, you recast it in transluscent yellow plastic, didn't you? Seriously, wow - what an awesome paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vejlin Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 yeah. Do spill the beans. Looks fantastic, tells us how you did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewen Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Nothing special. I think the blue background in the pic really helps the colors stand out. It is primed white and I used some Vallejo Game colors and Reapers new Lava Colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikerdrew Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 That has got to be the most realistic fire painting I've ever seen on a mini - it even feels hot to look at. Incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
