TheAuldGrump Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Making it Swiss... works for me. It will mean cutting down on some of the grime that I had envisioned, as I think that the Swiss would be more likely to keep it polished than to boil everything in linseed oil. It would more likely gleam. The Auld Grump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gears, being brass (and enchanted like a mofo) as well as the Elder Shields would be in perfect working condition. The various plated sections could be corroded, covered in barnacles and seaweed, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Inner Geek Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 When drybrushing the 'yellow' metals like brass or bronze or gold, I like to put it over a brown base. I'm just about at the point of doing the metallics on the Ogre. Brown or black for base coating under copper, assuming I'll leave a bit at the edges exposed? I'd do a dark brown basecoat. If you try it and it doesn't work for you, you can always redo it with a black undercoat. Not overly much metal on that guy anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'll give it a shot. It's all warm metals, so brass/copper/gold. Last Knight, that's why I ordered two, for a shiny and an aged one. Or a warm and cool metal. Or...it was difficult keeping it to two. And now I'm thinking maybe one of my Cthulhus could go toward a diorama with the sunken version of Vernacloxenbooty.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) This is one of those rare times when I might actually... wait for it... paint a miniature (for myself). I think I can do a pretty good job on the clockwork dragon, and I've got some gears and stuff laying around from an exchange I did a few years back. A little conversion work, followed by a weathered paint job with some verdigris. Yeah, I can do that. ~v Edited October 24, 2012 by Shakandara 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girot Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 unless someone objects I'm gonna use the Elder Sign from the Arkam Horror board game. I may actually sculpt a huge beefy super energized version. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuldGrump Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hmmm, surprised this hasn't popped up yet.... Work on the Big C... has begun. The Auld Grump, pardon me boys, is this the lair of Great Cthulhu?... *EDIT* And as I was adding the image.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
