Ferox Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I've had this guy on my workbench, primed and undercoated, for the better part of a year now. Today, I picked up bottles of RMS Adamantium Black and Scorched Metal. Time to experiment.... Pretty pleased with both, actually. I had a hard time finding a shadow colour for the deep red cloth; I ended up with a mix of swamp green and blue liner (which worked pretty damn well on the bone, too -- terran khaki base, highlighted with linen white). Any recommendations for a properly dark green? Should I just pick up a bottle of green liner and get it over with? I guess this guy's kind of a speed-paint, if you don't count the months he spent languishing on the bench: I have about two or three hours in him altogether. Funnily enough, I'm not terribly excited about the armour, although I think I did a sufficient job. The shield, on the other hand, makes me happy. C&C appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loim Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 This guy rocks. Those colors work very well, I guess it's time for me to pick those two up. Too bad you didn't do a WIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferox Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Thanks! Too bad you didn't do a WIP. There's really not that much to it. The armour was the most time-consuming step: undercoat in black, two coats of slightly thinned Adamantium Black, shade with blue liner, highlight with thinned true silver and a touch of Vallejo metallic medium. Aside from that, everything has a base coat, a shade, and a highlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimL Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Great job, I like the dark feel to it, looks appropriately sinister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
