Oh my god. My brain is literally liquid goo. Two and a half hours of masking and painting and painting and painting again. I like the result. Might make the lines a little thinner next time. Any suggestions on what to wash the yellow with? I really don't work with the color very often. Should I wash it at all? NecronSchmecron fucked around with this message at 09:30 on Mar 8, 2010 |

I'd suggest adding stuff at the back, sticking the little riser bits on top of the walls might be a start. I think that's a chem-plant tank isn't it? Can't remember what else is in that kit, anything like a smaller tank that could sit in a corner the back, or does it have any girder bits that might makes a decent rollcage? Whatever you think would add bulk or draw the eye really. PaintVagrant posted:I am not going to buy a stompa. I am not going to buy a stompa. I am not going to buy a stompa.

I hadn't really considered that. I'll look at adding some giant exhaust stacks or something, although at this point I may leave well enough alone and paint the stupid thing. One of the reasons I had kept the rear so sparseis because I want to fill it full of orks; when I get home I'll take a picture with passengers so I can see if that evens things out. Yup, that tank is from the chem plant. Also go buy a stompa. It's full of awesome bits; that's where the arms for the deff rolla came from.

 It's Lighting Time! For the purposes of this lecture, light is a wave not a particle. Deal with it, particle physicists. All the light we can see is electromagnetic radiation, kinda like x-rays and microwaves, but... visible. And generally won't give you terrifying melty organs or cancer. All the light sources we deal with in our daily life fall somewhere in this visible spectrum. Your average incandescent bulb, for instance, glows at 32k. It's orange! The sun, by the time it gets to us, is blue at 56k. Fluorescent bulbs, like the long tubes in soulless, crushing office enviroments, are somewhere in the middle, and glow green. (ROYGBIV, where O GB are the only ones we care about.) But I'm a pasty Warham! What does light have to do with my life at all?! If you want well-painted models and awesome photos of them when they're done Ever get that issue walking out into the bright sunlight from the inside of a school or something, and everything looks blue? Like a professional camera, your eyeballs are full of rods and cones, which sense luminance and chroma values. The ones that sense chroma are divided into three types; red, green, and blue! When you get this effect, it's because your eye hasn't white balanced for the new lighting. Cameras do this as well, but mixing colour temperatures makes this impossible to do correctly. Your eye is a LOT better at it. Crappy consumer cameras, like in a cellphone or older cameras, don't have seperate sensors for all this stuff, and their images aren't very good. Digital SLRs are probably going to have a complicated CCD in them, for the best quality picture.  Answer my question! What does this mean?! How's your lighting at your desk? If you paint with the lighting coming from the window, and thus the sun, your desk lamp needs a daylight bulb. This way, both light sources are the same and your colours don't look weird from different angles. If you paint in a dank chamber in your basement, don't sweat it, but do rub the lotion on your skin. If you want to take nice photos in a lightbox you've made for yourself, buy whatever the hell bulbs you want. Daylights, naked incandescents, naked fluorescents, whatever, but keep them all one type. Optimally, you want to black out the room you're taking your photos in, because light bleeding into the photo from something other than your desired sources is a reason samurai would commit ritual suicide and can shift the colours so badly your photos will look like rear end. Yeah, your camera is pretty much inside the box, and it's really bright in there, but why take chances? Draw the goddamn blinds, keep the spillage to a minimum. Don't worry if your painting light is a different temperature than your photo lights; white balancing your camera will make it all good. (If you shoot on a black background or a coloured one, place a piece of white card into the booth and balance off that.) If your camera is SO lovely it won't white balance how you want, Photoshop can help.

Photo taken only with tungsten bulbs: Photo taken with a combo of daylight and tungsten bulbs, camera adjusting for tungsten. Blue tinge is because the daylight looks blue when adjusting for 3200K:  I actually like how daylight looks as a filler for tungsten-lit and adjusted photos.

Painting big things is hard. Lungboy reckons I should redo the skin like this guy for army cohesion (everything's green), and while I originally wanted him to stand out from the rest I'm inclined to agree  What say you goons ?

You could do different shades of green for some variation, or add extra hue colours. While there is something to be said for uniformity, I prefer some variation personally.

It doesn't have to be an identical shade, but I agree that keeping things uniform would look better.

So I tried mixing up a batch of the soft black wash using the awesomepaintjob.com guy's recipe. The stuff doesn't seem to flow as well as the GW stuff. To those who have tried it, is that pretty much normal, or do I need to add more flow aid? I didn't really have the means to measure my proportions too exactly, so I eyeballed it, and I'm not exactly thrilled with the results.

Here's what you should do... 1. Go to https://www.mcmaster.com. 2. Search for "pipettes" and pick whatever you want. 3. Spend hours browsing their site for other awesome stuff. 4. Purchase said stuff. 5. Enjoy the warm feeling that can only come from using the most awesome site on the Internet. Seriously, that place has everything.
