A Steampunk Challenge
Trousers and Boots
I’m not as happy with the trousers as I am the rest of the model, they were fine until I tried to put blue stripes on them. I tried using masking tape to get a nice edge, well it didn’t work out the paint leaked underneath and whilst I have tried to tidy it up I’ve not done as good a job as I wanted.
I have highlighted the blue up, but not sure it shows well. The pale base colour was started with P3 Menoth White Base and shadows added with AP Soft Tone, highlights with P3 Menoth White Base and P3 Menoth White Highlight mixes.
The boots started off with Vallejo German Grey and then received a wash of AP Dark Tone, I tried to use some of the leather technniques with successive lighter shades of grey, making short strokes with the tip of the brush to provide some highlight.
Looking really nice so far. The detail work on the lenses was well worth the effort.
