11: Painting: First round of colour
With metallic base down it’s now time to cover most of it with first or the main colours. As this is going to be a speed freak creation the main colour has to be red but to break things up a bit I’m also going to user blue to make it lucky and some yellow which is also a speed freak colour and adds a bit more interests.
For this layer I want to cover most of the metallic colour leave all of the edges a bit rough and also leave a few gaps to look like the paint has been scratched off or worn away. For the red I’ve used Citadel Khorne Red, the blue is Scale Colour Arianrhod Blue and for the yellow I’ve used Vallejo Filthy Brown which is a light yellow based brown. All of this has been done with a large brush but one that has a good point for the details. The trick is to try and make it look like paint isn’t done very well without it actually being a bad paint job.
Highlights will come next but I find that this first coat of proper colour takes a long time but the next layers don’t take anywhere near as long. I hope.
