To Infinity and Beyond
Getting Started
I wanted something to practice on before starting with the miniatures from Defiance so I bought the STL’s for these from Titan forge miniatures on myminifactory and although they come pre-supported for some reason the right arm for 4 of them failed and ended up a bit of a splodge (see below for a comparison between the good one and a failed one).
I have both of Angel Giraldez’s books so I thought I would try a Yu Ling paint scheme on the first one.
Its starts with a Cavalry Brown and Orange Brown mix. The next one is Orange Brown, then Ice Yellow. Lastly I added a bit of white to the Ice Yellow.
I am not sure I am totally happy with this but I think a wash over the top my bring out the detail and a dark under suit will make the armour pop.
Great job! It is always nice to follow Defiance project (with 3d printing to boot).
Your minis look good (I use similar colours on my Yu Jing), and if you want to increase readability of the details, I’d recommend outlining them carefully with mixture of some deep blue (phatlo/Prussian) and magenta, instead of any overall wash. It takes much more work but effect is spectacular.
Thanks I’ll give that a go. I will get to defiance mini’s soon.
