Dustinp's #the daily paint

well here's what i managed to get painted up today. I keep missing sections that need paint, especially a lot of the metalic parts that still need painy. and if you're wondering why they got no heads is because i primed them seperately. it's a lot easier to paint flesh over white rather than a black. hope you like.

They look great so far, are you using an airbrush to get those tones?

Very nice dude...
The gold looks great over the gray!

Yeah, just on the grey areas though. it's just a lot faster than doing it with a brush lol. otherwise i'd proabaly still be going at the power armor with super thin layering or if i could get it smooth enough with wet blending. I'll be using a brush for when i start on the characters though, have way more control that way.

What is your gold recipe if you don't mind me asking?

It's actually very very simple. I use valljo model air gold, thinned down a bit ( covers over anything extremely well ) then go over it with Vallejo game color sepia ink thinned about 1-1 with water. that's pretty much it. I might go back and do some highlights on the gold though. you're talking about the gold on the wolves right?

Oooh, and before applying the ink it's a good idea to hit the model with a clear coat varnish if possible. i find that the model air metallic paint do tend to have the mettalic flakes lift when using a wash over them, so a clear satin/matte/gloss will make this less of a pain to do ( something i need to start doing when i use their metallics ) differant clear coat will give a diferant look.

so i figured it was time to start using a light box, so today i made one. and this is how it turned out.

I'm hoping to get the Space wolves finished today at some point. when i do finish them i'll post some pics of before the lightbox and after. hoping this works out well enough.

Nice light box, I used to have one just like it! You can buy a portable one that comes with 2 lights pretty cheap, I got mine for $19 or something similar.
