Popular Post Cicciopiu Posted January 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Hello forum family, showing you the most recent minis I've painted, the Spartan living bronze statue. Super nice sculpt, it inspired me to make a scenic base, it was a great opportunity to try something new: I've tried to make some columns using stuffs that I've found in my house, sculpting and arranging it at best to make it looks as ruins; also sculpted a bit of moss here and there and used dried filed grass to resemble tundra environment. About the model I've changed the base using the Amazon one, and painted it using a lot of techniques to show a lot of weathering on it, to stay in theme with the wasted scenery. It came out not bad, I'm quite happy of itHi-res pic 1 Hi-res pic 2 Let me know what do you think about it, every C&C is more than welcome!

Poilu_1914 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 That weathered bronze is amazing! What colors did you use? I'm thinking that process would be excellent on mummy weaponry. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that process would be excellent on mummy weaponry. For the bronze: AK Xtreme Metal Bronze (this is an Enamel paint) as base applied with the airbrush, shaded using a mix of black and raw umber oil paint wash, hi-lighted with AK Gold (acrylic); Vallejo Game Effects Verdigris over Vallejo chipping medium then used a sponge to take off randomly the paint. Columns and plinth: sorry I've mixed so many colors I can't really remember the recipe. Moss: GW Seraphim Sepia, Agrax earthshade, Athonian camoshade and, mostly, AK Moss deposits (Enamel).
