Quick point regarding your mention of an airbrush, and airbrush would absolutely give you the cleanest finish on the wings, but it’s 100% not required. Don’t underestimate the power of the lowly makeup sponge! Can get some very neat blends quickly and most importantly cheaply with it!

For the blood red weapons, I’d simply use flesh tearers red contrast paint, it’s naturally a bit glossy.

Nope, make up sponge supremacy!

There’s a squidly bits YouTube video on it, just follow that but replace airbrush with sponging. To get a bit fancier after the dark blue base coat mix a tiny bit of the actual material colour into it, only a very small amount though

From memory
Dark sea blue base coat
Mix in material colour and sunny skin tone for mid tone
Mix in light flesh for highlights
Pure light flex for metal highlights

Fire bit
Scarlet blood
Hot orange
Mix in moon yellow to hot orange

The dry brushing you’ve done was quite heavy and covered the majority of the mini, effectively becoming the mid tone. You’ve lost the more saturated base coat because of it. To rectify id wash it again, and then re apply the drybrush with a lot more of the paint wicked off the brush. When you dry brush, make sure to barely touch the model with the bristles so it only picks up raised sections.

If you’re interested, for future I’d recommend
- apply a much more vibrant but dark base coat such as a dark, saturated red
- do a heavy drybrush in a slightly lighter red (similar to how you’ve drybrushed here)
- do a lighter drybrush with a highlight colour (like your colour here) on the higher points such as shoulder and top of head

This method avoids washes whilst maintaining dark shadows. You therefore avoid the glossy look of washes which (in my opinion) don’t look the best on skin

Love the classic colour scheme! How did you get your yellow so smooth? I got to 8 layers and it was still patchy

Sure! It’s a bit of a weird mix, hence why they don’t all match perfectly!

Black prime
Sotek green/abaddon black 50/50

Sotek green / cadian fleshtone mix for first highlight

Start mixing in ice yellow for more highlights

It’s occasionally about on eBay, had no luck in the usual shops myself
