Still not overly confident with white, OR cloth, but it feels a little better now.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546836447177223646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634971515176218005.post-34222299649661169192012-02-02T04:51:14.938-08:002012-02-02T04:51:14.938-08:00I completed miss that you'd finished this guy ...I completed miss that you'd finished this guy and done a really nice job of him as well. The greyish blue looks really good and the zenithal lighting is coming along nicely.<br /><br />The shading on the white looks a lot better this time and from the looks of things you used a blue wash, which I think ties the white cloth in well with the rest of the model.<br /><br />My only comment is it looks like the face could use a watered down wash of devlan mud to sharpen some of the details, but it could just be a case of the photography bleaching the colours out.Sendrakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114892451151016231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634971515176218005.post-87669448574017986132012-01-24T11:14:00.778-08:002012-01-24T11:14:00.778-08:00thinking more on it, the detail does make him a gr...thinking more on it, the detail does make him a great "learning" piece - for instance there is a lot of white, parchment and bone (no matter what chapter you do him as) and getting all those textures right was a real headache, but i learnt a lot from it. normally i'd avoid putting stuff like that together for fear of them not being distinct. Here I don't have any choice so i've had to make the effort to get it right.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546836447177223646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634971515176218005.post-37656600420492715222012-01-24T09:02:00.669-08:002012-01-24T09:02:00.669-08:00Very true.

The detail is there so you don't have to add it, but there is so much there it takes forever to paint.<br /><br />I like the 40mm bases myself since I think they are just big enough to give you room to really suggest the environment they are working in. 25mm is too small to get a feel for it and 60mm is more like a mini-display for me.<br /><br />Ron<br /><a href="http://www.fromthewarp.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">From the Warp</a>Space Hulk Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03522498406401972832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634971515176218005.post-65703949471290568972012-01-24T08:39:46.555-08:002012-01-24T08:39:46.555-08:00thanks Ron :)

I've painted one of these and I know how much detail is on the model.<br /><br />Once you base him later on, it will really bring him to life.<br /><br />Ron<br /><a href="http://www.fromthewarp.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">From the Warp</a>Space Hulk Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03522498406401972832noreply@blogger.com
