Defiance

So I am feeling better and trying to enjoy what metal I have left. So what did I decide to do? Paint duplicated model of course. This is my only complaint about defiance. In saying that I am glad it’s metal and they were actually fun to paint despite being duplicates and me batch painting which I hate.

I done my usual but as I was batch painting and wanted minimal effort I did use Oil washes on infinity models for I think the first time (for me). I normally don’t think washes fit well for infinity.  This was just a blue and red oil paint mixed and diluted into a wash consistency with white spirit and applied all over after the airbrush stage but before the detail stage. I  into a nice purple and washed and removed to give a good tone to the grey. I also used deck tan for the grey flesh as I felt white looked very stark.  I done a later wash after I blocked out the black armour and claws with just black more localised but again removed. I also went in with pink to do some glazes at the end.

Pretty much trying to do this quickly but not so much they would look out of place against my other models. The pictures of these don’t look right I tried to correct them but it was verging on photoshopping the models so I left them as is with only correcting the exposure which was slightly off. The colours are right but the contrast and whites are lighter in real life.  But enough of my 1st world problems here’s the models.

Another 6 models done! Quite happy with the progress that’s a big chunk done. I cant say I am looking forward to the Nox so may skip them next. The good news is they are mostly black. I think next will the the Jayth.

I forgot to mention the magnets are in the bases for these ready for my yet designed solution for the colour banding that isn’t pressing plastic tabs on the bottom perhaps chipping or wearing the paint on the base.

If you made it this far you will be please do know that I only believe there is 3 star wars movies and a lot of mistakes.

More to come.
