A Billion Suns by thedace
The Madras!
So, while watching the Unofficial hobby hangout tonight I painted up one of my larger ships.
The model is a UCM cruiser from Dropfleet commander and is approximately 10cm long.
Painted in a very similar style to my frigates.
- Primed with leadbelcher
- Two coats of scale 75 instant shadow back.
- White for the engines and energy weapon followed by blue ink.
- Scale 75 instant Zucchini green on a number of the upper panels.
- Details and few panels picked out in red.
- A few pipes and smaller guns done in black.
These continue to look amazing. I know you mentioned you felt like it was cheating to use such a minimalist palette but I really think it shines in this case. The dark ship color also really makes the engine lights and detail colors stand out and that touch of green is perfect.
Thanks @bali I’m chuffed with how they are coming out. I really can’t wait to get an actual game in.
That blue engine glow actually looks like its glowing! Just white with blue ink?! I must try this sometime…
