Spring Clean Double header
Primed, temporarily glued and planning
Standard zenithal with a gew highlights I figured that trying to get the right highlighting while the figures were parted wasn’t going to work so a temporary solution of gluing the parts in place was needed. I’ll be breaking these back apart to paint properly and there’s not much worry about the joins as they are all hidden. I’ll be pinning the shields in place for both and the weapons for the mounted version so that there won’t be any easy breakage in the future. I’m not entirely sure how well the highlighting will work on the horse’s shoulders, knees, loins and hocks where the area would catch but I’ll try to make it pop.
Planning for the future of the paint work I need to think about the metals. I’ve seen plenty of true metallics but nothing in NMM. My non-metallic work is passable but I’m not great. Seeing what can be done with it I might as well go headlong into it. Seeing the work of James Wappel doesn’t get my hopes up to what I can achieve but I’ll try anyway.
