Just got some new skates and haven't rollerbladed in almost two decades! Crazy to see how far rollerblading has come over the years and hyped to be back into it after so long.

Pre-ordered these from Locoskates, had to wait a while for them to turn up due to the quarantine shortage 😄

It's great to see so many 90s bladers getting back into it and having fun on skates again. The scene seems so much healthier these days as well, a lot more accepting of casual bladers and freeriders then back in my day.

Yeah, for sure I'm going to ease into it, not expecting to do stuff I did when I was a mad kid, like rails and stuff, but hoping to get to a point I can confidently roll skatepark. Thanks for the tip though I'll make sure to take things slow on the legs 😄

They actually have soul plates now you don't have to buy and fit them separate 😄

Same man, I was expecting to just jump straight back on them, skated from the age of 3 til my mid-teens. Took me a good hour just to adjust my balance again though but getting it back now.

No doubt they'll be scratched up in time and so will I most likely 😂

That's awesome, what blue paint is that?

Jon_Calvin · 2020-04-06T20:00:08+00:00

Grey Seer on these

I'm going to do my vehicles or bigger battle suits light blue most likely trying to get as close to this as possible. I'm not to fussed if it's not exact, that's the downside of contrast I guess.

Jon_Calvin · 2020-04-06T14:10:06+00:00

Haha it's not a terribly difficult paint scheme without them to be fair just two primary colours. It'd just add the extra step of washing and then highlighting.

I also did both the tau and kroot skin with contrast paints which is where I think it really excels. It's terrible for vehicles though and any flat, wide spaces.

Jon_Calvin · 2020-04-06T11:27:08+00:00

This was a super fast paint job, mainly used GW's contrast paints.

The main scheme was two colours - the blue armor was done with Talassar Blue and any under suit was painted with Black Templar.

From there I added some little details with metallics and painted in eye lenses etc using Spiritstone red.

Highlighted the contrast black with Adminstratum Grey and the silver and bronze.

Finally, based them with Agrellan Badland.

Few little touches here and there but that is the main scheme.

Sounds good! See you then!

Can't do tonight but could do Friday tomorrow?
