Gaz's Spring Clean Hobby Challenge 2020
Something a little different, one of the bases I printed gets some paint.
So I went in on the Titan Forge Patreon mainly for the lovely bases that come each month. You get around 40-50 of the same theme in all their various sizes and shapes.
For my 40k force, I was looking at microart studios who do some stunning stuff but it was going to be hundreds of pounds. When I saw the theme of the bases in the welcome package I was very happy as they were close to what I wanted and even with buying the printer it was going to work out around the same cost but open up a whole new world for me.
So now just to stick the Commissar to this and that’s my first fully done mini for my Kill Team/40k force.
The colours I used are listed below.So the process was
Spray black then zenith white
The cobbles and pillar
Basilicanum Grey (C) the cracks and gaps
Apothecary White (C) the topmost surfaces and sides
Second layer of AW now just doing the upper surfaces
Thinned down layer of Mechanicus Standard Grey (B) towards the shadows
Thinned down layer of Dawnstone (L) towards the highlight
Mix Dawnstone 4:1 White Scar (L) thin and apply at the highlight
Heavily watered down Nuln Oil (S) in the shadows
Heavily watered down Drakenhof Nightshade to blend at the edge of the previous layer.

What’s your photoshoot set up? Your images are very crisp and high quality.
@drbonejangles thanks for the comment buddy. My camera is a cheap Motorola E4 plus phone, it has a half-decent camera on it and is around £125, I use a small phone tripod to set it on so it’s actually in my lighting booth. The lighting booth I bought is this. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07GFDZR8P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1one Other than that I use the timer on the phone when it is in the tripod to eliminate shake. I normally make the point of the focus the brightest spot to not have too much whitewash through the image as the LED light built into the light booth is… Read more »
