Draconis does…. Mars Attacks!
Martian progress update
8th July 2024
Its been a week since my last update, so thought it was time for another.
Working on 19 minis at once is quite laborious ?
I have been following the process for the test model, and applying it to the rest.
They all had the armour overspray with Hydra Turquoise followed by the same armour wash mix that I made up. Oddly though, the latter minis seem to have a somewhat gloss finish from the wash, but the earlier ones don’t….. not sure what happened there, as I kept the wash stirred.
Oh well, they will get a Matt spray at the end now to hopefully alleviate this.
Wash went glossy towards the end of the batch paint Next up it was painting the boot edges and glove edges with black Templar contrast. This was followed by painting all the boots and gloves – green for the grunts, and a yellow ochre for the two squad leaders.
You get yellow wellies if you are in charge...Then it was onto black templar again for piping, guns, tank edges and mixed in was painting the bases black, followed by a basic dark grey layer.
The armour, piping and guns were then painted with Vallejo gunmetal.
After that I painted the tanks with mephiston red, and gave the tanks and gunmetal areas a nuln oil wash.
Getting there.....
