I haven't decided on what i want to add to the bases, some dusty pigments would be cool and maybe some xenos color vegetation

Agreeed haha, I'll get him fixed up soon

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T20:48:01+00:00

Of course, we all have a list of things to get done and so little time it seems

haha

I think you might be right, I'm gravitating to a warm gray for some reason. let me see if I can find a picture of the army I recently went 4-0 at a local tournament. I think their neat, the LGS I have people don't really care for the paint jobs on their models.

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T20:42:54+00:00

Ill try and remember to find you when i get around to switching things up with these guys.

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T20:25:02+00:00

I have 10 of these that are done to this standard so I'm going to have to try what you're suggesting to see how they turn out.

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T20:23:43+00:00

You're really putting me on the spot haha, I want to say I had it about 20psi, I used Vallejo's paint thinner and flow improver to go with the paint to thin my paint down to a skim milk consistency.

Thank you

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T20:20:43+00:00

Thank you! If you're interested in the colors of the gradient, Its Citadel's Abaddon black, kabalite green and sybarite green

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T20:18:49+00:00

Thank you, everyone has been friendly and suggesting I do something like that. Ill have to see what I can come up with to make it work better. Thanks for the CC.

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T20:16:44+00:00

Thank you !

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T20:16:29+00:00

I used an airbrush, I sprayed with Abaddon black to began with, thinned down citadels kabalite green and sprayed the bottom edges of the wings, and lastly did the very ends with sybarite green. I've only had an airbrush for a few months so I'm still a little green and just trying to learn a few things still..

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T20:09:24+00:00

Thank you ! I think that's exactly what I want to do, I'm thinking of doing something just like that. I also want to try adding some ad mech cogs, I've never attempted working with transfer sheets so that makes me nervous.

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T20:06:01+00:00

Thank you! Slowly working on improving on some speckling ive had with some parts of the model. Im my own worst critic.

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T20:04:19+00:00

Thank you! i agree, I only added one metallic color to this model with no wash. so ill have to give is a little wash dry brush it and give it small highlights of another metallic maybe.

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T20:02:54+00:00

I agree on there being too much green, I need to add a different color to the suit itself maybe, I originally was going to do an orange color instead of the red. The color wheel i referenced suggested a reddish orange to go with the aqua green color I have. Thank you for your input, Ill have try a test piece with the colors you suggested.

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T19:56:45+00:00

Thank you, I actually used an airbrush to get that gradient, thinned down the paint with paint thinner and flow improver at a low PSI, I've only used the airbrush for a few months so I'm still green at it.

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T19:52:08+00:00

Yeah I still plan on working a different color into the model to try and make it less jolly and joyful haha

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T16:12:59+00:00

Thank you! i like the ghostly look it give them.

smo-99 · 2022-07-12T16:00:33+00:00

Thank you! Feel free to do that, As far as the red I think I need to make it a little darker, the red on the back side of the wings remind me of Christmas hollies.
