finished portal
ok so i’m calling the portal finished. I wasn’t really happy with how it looked so I went back and added in resin from the back. This has helped pull it together along with the paint which i applied to the rear of the resin, and then some highlighting over the front to improve the flow of it.
so the actual portal model was a purchase from ebay a while back, the resin and the uv light came from the ontabletop store along with the uv light. For the paints I used citadel brass colours and leadbelcher along with turquoise contrast paint, nurgles rot, the blood for the blood god technical and typhus corrosion.
I also find myself in a painting competition! my dear old dad has long been a model painter (mainly scale models – 1/35 scale) and whilst I have done some, he mainly does me the honor of painting my tanks. This time however we find ourselves a show down. So he sent me a picture of one of his panzers (I think its a panther tbf but i’m not 100%) and I am going to paint up a panzer 3. This will be my first vehicle in 1/35 scale and building it alone is a little more daunting! However the wager is that the winner will get a new model courtesy of the other so theres everything to paint for! I’m sure he won’t mind me showing off his work so i’ll put the pics of his tank below (mine is still under construction). I have had a lil go on a 1/35 german grenadier (I know the colours are not spot on but it was more for technique.
