Little post today about my progress so far this week:
I re-worked my Brass Scorpion - last time I was in a hurry and wasn't really happy with the outcome, so I stripped the parts and did it again - I really like the plates now. The technique is the same as last time, but i focused the pre-shading over the trim instead of next to it.
To sum up what I did so far:
- Metallic Basecoat
- Random lines with Gal Vorbak Red
- Pre-shading with thinned down Calth Blue - spray it over the trim!
- If you like to, you can also do another pre-shade with Mortarion Green where the deepest shadows would be
- Several thinned down layers of Angron Red - no worries if your first layers look weird, it will cover at the end
The trim was done with Castellax Bronze, Valdor Gold and Runefang Steel.
I also want to note, it's kind of hard to take pictures as the high gloss surface reflects the light, but I quite like the effect =)
Hope you like it so far! I still need a base - so if anyone has an idea what to use for it, I would appreciate it!
regards,
Lady Atia
Looking great so far! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks =)
DeleteStill need to do some trim, than details (like the sacrificial victims :D), and of course the base.
Really nice Atia. You should be proud. Looking damn solid.
ReplyDeleteYou going to do some of the other Daemon Engines too after this?
Yeah I have a Khytan and 3 Blood Slaughterers waiting too - but I want to finish my Word Bearers first :)
DeleteThe great thing about this scheme - I should be able to repeat it any times aslong as FW has their airbrush range hehe :P
Yours turned out nicely! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks =)
DeleteJust how big is it? I love using GWs largest round base on my knights but it does cost £5 I think?
ReplyDeleteHe is around the size of a Baneblade once finished :/
DeleteGreat work Atia... In awe again...
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy :)
DeleteGreat work, as for base, I mentioned before about shaping and cutting 3mm hardboard? You can add modelling clay to build it up, or perhaps some nuked splayed out innards of a Landraider the Scorpion has just melted and clawed and is now scuttling over?
ReplyDeleteThe problem with shaping/cutting - I probably won't be able to get a perfect ovale form with that. It may do it if I can't find anything to use though!
DeleteHehe, I will add something from my next Marine army to the base. Not sure what exactly though. Maybe a Contemptor Dreadnought?
Very very pretty. See if you can snap a video at some point, we can see it in its reflective glory!
ReplyDeleteHehe, I'm currently considering both a box for pictures (I guess you know what I mean), aswell as something where I can make 360° views like FW. But both is pricey, so not sure when I can get these things.
DeleteWorse case scenario. Turn video on your phone. Rotate with hand. Say ooooh and aaaah. Upload to youtube. :)
DeleteSo are the Forge World clear paints naturally gloss, or did you clear coat at the end?
ReplyDeleteHey!
DeleteThey have a natural glossy finish :)
Looks great so far.
