Doesn't look bad tendrils. Try giving them a black wash, it will settle in the crevices and make them look deeper. Also, you may want to highlight the high spots with lighter colors. EDIT: btw Here is my first ever model: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/Uriel_1018/ironclad2.jpg Man I really overdid it with the metal...

Put a wash of Devlan Mud over the whole thing, then some black wash into the deeper parts, and it will look sweet.

Actually I've inked that guy up there, he looks pretty good now, though not as good as my thunderhead.... Gosh I love my thunderhead. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/Uriel_1018/thfront.jpg

crime fighting hog posted:Holy poo poo! I'm going to Blick tomorrow. It creates an interference layer over your undercoat that shimmers when the light hits it at certain angles. On curved surfaces this means that at least one point will have a highlight. The effect is different when used over complementary colors. I've only got the interference violet. Used it to do highlighting on the force weapons for my green knights. It's not something that comes across as well in still photos as it does in real life because most of the effect comes from the changing angles of light.:

Cross postin' from 40k hams thread. Click here for the full 1007x661 image.  Click here for the full 1109x734 image.  Click here for the full 515x639 image. Probably needs to be a bit thinner on the paints, but I built up from Red Gore as opposed to Tausept Ochre. What do you guys think?

Progress has been made on my  BAngels army!Pics incoming! Apologies for the horrific camera.  Sanguinary Guard Ahoy!  A close-up on aformentioned.  IMO, this pose is the radd-est in the box.  Oh yeah, terminator squad.  What's that? Forge World shoulder pads, that's what - none of them fit very well on assembly  .And... a WIP LeMartes that I'll update as I do more to him.  poo poo camera, but there's 5 layers to that bone, from khemeri to bleached.  Same blending on this shot.

So i bought my first every pack of Green Stuff on sunday. Used it to fill in some gaps on a custom base i'm making for my bolt thrower, and then to fill in the inch wide gaps in the wing joints of a WE warhawk rider. My gf also asked if i could make the rider look more female to match the characters in the book "Guardian of the forest", some princess or something or other, so just 2 days in, there i was making green stuff boobs for little plastic men... i feel so doc thunder! But i digress... i'm not too bad at general shaping and details, but i always have trouble initially getting the stuff to stick to the model / base that i'm trying to apply it to. should i dry it out a bit and just roughly put it where i want it before applying a bit of water to manipulate it into the shape i want or is there some other trick to it?

Maybe consider raising the whole thing off the base with one of those clear rod things and make both of the legs a bit more extreme, so it's way more obvious that he's flying. Right now it just kind of looks like you're going to put something under his raised leg for his foot to rest on.

I have a spare pot of P3's skorne red (the very same one PV pimps to us, it's seriously lush) because I got an extra free when I ordered a pot from the internets ages back. Let me know your address and I'll pop it in the post as soon as poss for you. Other than that, I love VMC reds... for a darker red base there's burnt cadmium red and for a seriously darker red base, black red. the self explanatory 'dark red' and 'red' do the job quite well for decent solid looking reds (once you've put 10 coats on over a black undercoat that is)

Take a hobby knife and score the surface that you are affixing your green stuff titties to. Gives it more surface area and thus better grip. Cakefool posted:I need a good brass recipe... not P3 paints. Any suggestions? Well, I haven't tried this, but: boltgun metal, mud, highlight with chainmail. Looks pretty good on the bloodletter on the bottom right corner, but I would suggest maybe going with the following: Boltgun, mud, highlight chainmail, sepia.

Well I bought some oil paints, but forgot the super shiny stuff. I'll get it next time I'm there. I'm gonna give the oil paints a shot right now though. I don't have to thin these, do I? I think they're good from the bottle.

It looks like the model could be descending to the ground. If it's supposed to be taking off, I'd lean the torso forward, and perhaps the whole model too. I think I've found an insignia for my SM chapter:  Original:  It's an old Roman legion symbol, which ties in to the look I'm going for. What's the best way to print it as decals?

No, you don't need to thin them, but two things: One, don't use your Winsor and Newton brushes: use synthetic bristles. Second, a little bit of oil paint goes a long, long way.

Oh I bought some sythetic brushes. And I don't have any winsor ones yet. Atlas 4 lyfe. I tried black to white on a terminator and it came out way better and was so easier than with acrylics. I thinned it just a wee bit with water, which helped it not look so streaky. I'm gonna give red and orange a try for purity seals and what not now. I'll have pics up sooner or later.
