Today I want to show you where my Brass Scorpion is atm - it's not much, and still looks horrible at this stage, but I hope it will turn out good at the end :P
After a black primer, I sprayed the whole Scorpion with Leadbelcher. I also added zenithals with Runefang Steal.
After this I started the pre-shading - Gal Vorbak red for the lines, aswell as further pre-shading with Calth Blue and Mortarion Green (the green is where the darkest parts should be at the end)
After the pre-shading was done, the long game started - the main colour will be done with several (very very very) thinned down layers of Angron Red (2 ml FW solution : 1 ml Angron Red). This takes a bit to dry between each layer, so here is where I am atm - after 2 layers of red
Looks quite funny at the moment, but as I follow the Forgeworld guide - well let's say, I have faith. At the end it should resemble something like this Knight by Forgeworld:
Sorry for the quite small post, but it's all I managed today (also had to get a new black primer spray this morning >.<). I hope he is finished sometimes next week though!
regards,
Lady Atia
Looks promising.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew :)
DeleteLooks neat can't wait to see the rest of your progress.
ReplyDeleteThanks =)
DeleteReally motivates me :D
Oooh. I am very excited to see how your clear red comes out.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I will try to thin it not as much down today, think that will help a bit :)
DeleteDoing similar on my warhound. Following the guide also, only with blue instead. Can't wait to see the end result!
ReplyDeleteYeah me neither *prays to the FW gods*
DeleteWhat do you use as pre shading for blue? Want to do my Vyronii Knights with metallic green, but not sure what tones to use for them ^^
Purple. Used vallejo clear blue and red in a 50/50 mix. very thinned. Paint heavier where you want it darker.
DeleteI might have gone a bit overboard in some spots. Update will be on TOC soon.

DeleteLooks gorgeous! I love this model so much. I think it is one of the best they make! Always love seeing them on the table.
ReplyDeleteAfter I slept a night over it, I think I may refine the preshading a bit, as I'm not 100% happy with it atm .... well, we will see how it turns out :)
