Spring Cleaning with Janus1004 - Ogres for Age of Magic
Airbrushing
I used this project to push my airbrushing experience a bit. I start of with a classical grey/black zenithal priming. The primers used are the usual suspects from Vallejo. Then I airbrushed on Scale75 Arabic Shadow, and this is actually harder than it looks…. I have had enormous problems with Scale75 and the airbrush, so this time I diluted it very much, around a 50/50 mix with Vallejo airbrush thinner. Finally I got rid of the sputtering and clogging that I always have had with Scale75, so that was obviously not the colours fault.
Then I tried airbrushing in shades (Scale75 African shadow) and highlights (Scale75 Basic flesh). The large skin surfaces these model offer up are prefect to practise on. The trousers were painted with Scale75 Deep red and shaded with the same colour with some black in. Overall I am pleased with the result.
