Hellboy (an old Spring Clean Challenge)
Minions, Monsters and Heros
So I have determined my method but I still have to make it work with a large number of minis to be painted. I scratch myself, wonder, and realize I have little specific experience to weigh any decision on. I decide to start at the start and make it up as I go along. The first decision I make is to use the frogmen with each step as experimental rats so to speak to gauge the effectiveness of each part of process.
I give everything a black undercoat and start with a cool grey before the warm white, get through the frogmen and larger Monsters but wonder if I haven’t gone to heavy, and too light early on given I still have a lighter layer to go. I drop my cool grey back a shade or two and feel more comfortable moving forward.
If your wondering why all the little steel plates, I had a moment in my re-enacting career about a decade ago where I started making a coat of steel lamellar. This is where magnetizing the bases comes into its own as I can easily move the miniatures onto tighter bases to maintain the angle of spray for each coat of successive layers.
