Old Skool Goodies, Baddies and Whatever
It go BOOM!
Life in general has a way of ruining the best laid plans, as it’s been in my case these last couple of months! However some painting progress has been made with the first of my classic Dwarves. First up a “later” period cannon (1990’s)
As with almost all my figures I undercoated grey, just Halfords primer. The wood was my first real experiment with contrast paint which looked ok following application but was highlighted up slightly. The metal was then blacked in and highlighted up with firstly chainmail plus a bit more black, chainmail, chainmail + silver and finally a few dots of pure silver.
The barrel, black undercoat, then tin bitz, glittering gold/dwarf bronze mix and a nuln oil wash, the gold details were then further highlighted with more glittering gold and glittering gold/silver for a final accent.
Work in progress stage for the cannonUnfortunately I forgot to take pics of the crew at different stages, but as there are plenty of other detailed painting guides out on the net I’ll pass on the detail.
The keen eyed among you, may also have spotted the other 1980’s gun in the back ground! Stay tuned for developments for that!
