I've spent
a few hours each night painting up my warriors ; learning new medium like
pigment proven to be a lot more challenging than expected.
So far I rusted
them up, realized they were now a lot more orange than white, and repainted the
edge white. It’s an OK look, given that it made a pretty random pattern on the
model so it does look natural… On another hand, it doesn’t look like rust at
all anymore imho. I’m open to idea on what to do to improve them (or what to do
differently with my next 3 units). It’s still ok though ; once the unarmoured
white will be fixed up, and some paint added to the model (the infamous purple
cloth), I think it will look okay. But okay isn’t satisfying.
Next up is
my Venom. He also faced a new medium, namely the “masking-rubber”. I had read
about it, but never really found a use for it. After wasting 2 old brushes
learning that it dry in a way that no brush can survive, I managed to complete
my Venom, paint it over in white, and remove the masking rubber. The result is
very satisfying, and I think is a great improvement over the salt technique
when using on big models. There’s still a lot more work to do on him, but I think
with 5-6 more hours, he should at least be finished, minus the crew member
sitting on top.
