A moment in time
Setting the Scene
Still struggling for hobby time, so my minis look the same as they did last entry, however, thanks to the wonders of airbrushes, I have managed to get the basics of my corridor all finished.
Spaceship corridors are metal, at least, in my head space hulk corridors are anyway, and there is no better way to represent metal than using Alclad lacquer paints. So, to paint the corridor I started off with their gloss black primer, which helps give the metal coats their shine. Then I used Alclad gunmetal, a dark metallic that has a hint of purple in it when you see it on the glass of the bottle it comes in. I used that to represent the darkness the genestealer will be emerging from.
I then used a colour called gold titanium to show the lighter areas. In both the wall and the door bulkhead, there are moulded in lights, so I have used those as the light source of the piece. The terminator will be positioned in the light, with the genestealer coming out of the dark areas.
I have to do a bit of brushwork here to create the off white/yellow lights themselves, and perhaps add some ink to add depth to the lighted parts, but hopefully this gives a better image of what I am trying to achieve.
