Steelheart's Champions for Shadespire
Work from this Weekend 5/28/2018
So I got some more done on the other 2 models for the Champions today. I had already primed and airbrushed the initial gold onto them so I started by blocking out the black and metallic parts of the models. I also had masked off the head of one without a helmet on using silly putty (great stuff, I use it as a reusable masking medium as well as to attach models to old rattle can caps for basing etc) to avoid getting gold onto it. Then I blocked out the eyes with white ready for the flesh coat to work them back into the head.
With the black blocking done I proceeded to do the same for the base blue color I wanted to use, this is a much darker blue then I will end up with prior to staining as you always need at least a shade lighter then you want to end up with when using stains, they really drop it down a notch or 3.
The final parts I had time to work on where the initial coat of flesh and hair on Steelheart as well as picking out the maroon for weapon grips and the helm plume.
I have a con coming up this next weekend but we will see if I can at least get everything done prior to staining them this week so they can dry while I am gone.
