Bot War - Painting Challenge 2023
Day 3 - Now in colour
Today I start adding base colour to the Atlanticans.
Over the top of the TMM basecoat I use shake up in a bottle a mixture of citadel contrast colours; Dark Angels Green, Akhelian Green, and Terradon Turquoise, to create a really deep blue green colour. This then creates a blue-green metallic effect when applied with a airbrush as a filter over a metallic base.
It took a few attempts to get the mix I wanted, and I was testing this out in a cardboard box which I have been using for priming for many years, this was used to spray the metals into yesterday so I had the metallic basecoat I could spray over and make sure it was where I wanted it.
It’s still in the ugly phase but this now has all of the Atlanticans at the solid foundation so from now on I can break them into smaller groups to refine and work in details and other colours.
