WIP Wednesday 3/22/23 (Only Saturday because... Calmsword forgot)

 

Work in Progress Wednesday

Hi, my name is Logan, you may recognize me by my discord handle Redrix-3. Today is another redo of an older project. A Pipermakes print I used as a Coldstar proxy, here it is before a new coat of paint.




Paints used

 

The first thing I needed to fix was the large flight rod sticking out of the back of the base. While decently sturdy, it is connected to the model only with glue and I wanted something to definitely lock it into place. I grabbed a paper clip, drilled out the holes and repositioned the model. I also zenithal highlighted the whole model to really define out the shades and highlights



 

Next up was picking out all of the mechanical bits with my classic Lamp Black for a nice matte finish, as well as some Skullcrusher Brass to pick out the gyroscope greebleys.

 

 



 

Now certain armour panels get basecoated with Lamp Black then a layer of Dawnstone.

 

 



 

And I may have gone a bit far ahead with my base coats of Pro Acryl Blue then Green Turqoise, but this is where I ended up after my painting session for today!

 



 

The highlights with the green turquoise came out extremely well and I’m excited to continue with the project! I’d say I’m about 60% done, and now is just a lot of detail work and clean up.

 

 

Until next week,
