Layers

[Arch69]

Hello there.

 

So am working on some test models for Imperial Fists and I am using Yriel Yellow for the armour.

Ive noticed while airbrushing it on the more layers I add the more golden/darker it gets.

 

So my question is how do I keep a consistent colour across my army? So it doesn’t end up different tones/shades?

 

I know it’s a silly question but how do you keep track of layers while airbrushing? How many do you lot do?

The simple answer from me is: I didnt, Im perfectly fine and OK with my army being yellow but having a varieties of yellow present because I basically wing the recipe every time and it changes just a bit.

 

But, if you want to keep it bright, if you feel like its starting to darken, try and add some really bright yellow to your mix like Flash Gitz yellow.

Will do thanks.

Yriel yellow is nice a transparent. For the final highlight you could do a top down highlight of white, and then a final highlight of yellow to get the brightness back.
