ShinyRhino Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I have completed my vow, in the nick of time! (2 hours, 52 minutes remaining, Eastern Standard time) I give thee three Marines, a Biker, and a refurbished Razorback! http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z43/goalie20/Warhammer%2040K/missilefront.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z43/goalie20/Warhammer%2040K/missile2front.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z43/goalie20/Warhammer%2040K/flamerfront.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z43/goalie20/Warhammer%2040K/bike1front.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z43/goalie20/Warhammer%2040K/razor3.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z43/goalie20/Warhammer%2040K/razor2.jpg The LPC was a lot of fun, and helped me churn out far more than I otherwise would have.

ikik Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 youre marines look really nice n' clean I like youre style how did you do the blue? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Corvus Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 That blue does look really clean. Great job on the razorback, as I find geting an even coverage on a large model to be very difficult. Glad to see another vow complete! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Pugno Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Well done - Ultras look nice on a battlefield, and yours are no exception i particularly like your gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks for the comments, all. @ikik: I do my blues the same for every model. I brush-prime black. Then I hit all the armor with Reaper Master Series "Ultramarine Shadow." Then I go over all the armor again with Ultramarine Blue (RMS again, they sell paints in sets of three, called "triads"). I make sure to leave the shadow color in all the recesses and plate joints. Then I hit it again with Ultramarine Highlight. I've had folks ask me why I bother with the midtone, since I cover it all up anyways, to which I reply, "I have no idea." It's just my method, but I suspect that it creates a more vibrant blue when I do this, as opposed to going Shadow to Highlight without the midtone. My edge highlights are a mix of Ultramarine Highlight and RMS Ghost White. @Captain Pugno: My gold is just a coat of RMS Antique Gold, with a wash of Ruddy Leather over it. No highlights at all. Some folks think it's far too dark for gold, but I'm glad someone else likes it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do all nice colour scheme's have reaper paints i can't buy that stuff in the netherlands and if i'd buy it online the shipping costs will be $16! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
