Phase three involved a mantle for the captain. What looks like fingerprints are in fact small distortions that occured when I tried to stretch and turn the green stuff a little bit.
I basecoated him to make it easier to find all the minor faults and imperfections. It's always dark outside when I have time to sculpt and the table-lamp is not optimal, so the photographs are really helpful.
His chin has been trimmed down by now, by the way, just need to take a new picture...
Status update on water effects and Water Horses
@El Zorro and mr Scott: After your suggestion on how to best do with the water effects I did a test model and the Citadel Water Effects behaved really well. After the test model had dried nicely, the horsies got a thorough lick of water effects and are currently drying. Also, inspired by Ted Nasmith, some green colours were added to the water. Awaiting final results of that project.
Coming on well...
SvaraRaderaYou're fast! ;) Thank you, Scott!
SvaraRaderaI am dreading when I'll have to paint it, though...
Painting's the bit I'd like - sculpting? - Eek! ;-)
RaderaWe should have some sort of model-exchange system then, I assemble and sculpt and you paint them and keep them (I can't fit any more models here, anyways), but I think the mail-cost iwould kill this baby-idea of mine ;D
RaderaSuper work, there is a helpful painting guide in White Dwarf, particularly for the shield. Love the pink framing there!
SvaraRaderaOoh, an excuse to buy WD! Thank you mr Vincent.
RaderaI am especially proud of the pink censoring - it was in fact possible to see my face in the reflexion in the metal, so there's where the pink came in! A ghastly miss of mine - if I ever would be exposed as the man behind the evil communist/racist/drug using, no-good beast-of-a-man Llama, I would surely lose my job!
I can't believe how quick you are Llama, and the quality is excellent. Well done
SvaraRaderaThanks! Have been working on the details so it will look a bit sharper. A commenter or PM:er on a forum, IIRC, noted I should use grey stuff for armor, so next time the scales will be sharper and more exact!
