Progress on the Butcher
Best laid plans and all that…
While starting this project has indeed refocused my hobby efforts, work and SWR did their best to derail it. On those evenings where I had spare time (and brain power) I have made progress on the butcher.
Over the week he has progress from…
Washing and Drybrushing on the Arms, Skirt and Bone completeThrough the next set of base layers…
Work Started on the chest adornmentsAnd through a number of steps that I didn’t remember to record (including the mistake of trying metalics on the weapons) to how he currently stands.
The butcher and his ghostly axes ... wait a minute, thats not right!I am not sure about the lanterns yet but with a few touch ups they will be at a point where I can leave them and revisit then at a later date.
For the Black armor I am trying a non metallic metal (with a paint brush) to give it more depth than a flat black. To a lesser extent I am using the same technique to add texture to the lanterns.
The rest of the model has been painted with a basecoat, wash, (optional) drybrush and final highlight. My go to method. I did try using a gunmetal metallic on the cleaver and saw. However it looked so out of place after the first coat that I immediately changed to another style of weapon painting.
Now I just need to finish the general touch ups, varnish the painted areas and then I can start on the hands and main weapons.
Quite a different scheme than I’ve seen elsewhere for this model, very original. I do like the slightly brighter feel here.
