Crizza Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 So, as of yesterday, I'm working on my MkII Apothecary, but I ran into a dead end.While the model is beautiful, I have no clue, how to paint his containers... normally, I would settle for something like leadbelcher, but since the armor parts are going with that paint as base I need something to crack the paint sheme.My paints are limited, I have bought green paints for DA, red to go with the chapter badge and so on...I'm tempted to simply wash them and leave them corax white...

Carlson793 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 When I did mine back in March, I made some metallic, and others clear, fluid filled containers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Ah, great As of now I settled for caliban green as base, moot green and now the question, whats the difference between shade and glaze colors?Got Nuln Oil and Waywatcher green for ages.Edit: How did you do the tubes? Thats another dead end for me, no matter if they're on a dreadnought, devastator or any other model^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats another dead end for me, no matter if they're on a dreadnought, devastator or any other model^^ a shade is for shadows, while a glaze is "a thin, transparent layer of paint, particularly in oil painting and acrylics. Glazes are used on top of one another to build up depth and modify colors in a painting." or in other words, to change the colour, f.e. blue glaze over white makes icy blue, red glaze over fleshcolour makes it warmer, blue over flesh makes it colder, etc^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats another dead end for me, no matter if they're on a dreadnought, devastator or any other model^^ Regarding shades/glazes (in addition to what Atia said) - the armor on that Apothecary was done by painting all plates a bright brass followed by 3-4 coats of Biel-Tan Green shade. The cylinders are a steel or silver, followed by a coat of Nuln Oil, then drybrush steel/silver to 'shiny' up the surface. The bottles were China blue craft paint, followed by whatever 'medical fluid' color I had on hand (it was a 'yeah, that should look cool', spur of the moment decision). Add spots of a slightly lighter shade of your fluid color to the bottles to represent glands floating inside. The tubes were either a very pale pink or green (sorry - red/green color blind, and don't have the paint label handy). Basically I went with a shade that was close to the rubber tubing I saw in my doctor's exam room. Give it the appropriate shade/wash, then drybrush to brighten up the color.
