Draconis: Spring Clean 2023 and onward
"Ironclad Man"
25th June 2023
One that has been sat on my paint area for far too long is Ironclad Man, from Ironclad miniatures.
Basically a Victorian sci-fi version of Iron Man.
I got as far as painting it red over silver.
The red didn’t look rich or vibrant enough, so in my spring clean resurrection I decided to take it back a stage.
I drybrushed it silver in two shades, leaving some red in the recesses still.
Next step was to apply some red contrast over the metal, to give a metallic red sheen.
Then to give it that iron man feel I picked out joints and facial features with gold, washed with a touch of brown and highlighted up with gold and a touch of silver.
Some blue in the eye slots, and some work on the backpack boiler, and it was pretty much done.
