Another one done. Better pics to follow at some undefined point. I know, “promises, promises.”
For anyone who is curious, I’m pretty much just using the paint scheme laid out in the “How To” pamphlet that came with the Vallejo NMM paint set. If you want the pamphlet message me and I’ll send it.
I did take some “step by step” pics on this since it seemed that the XLBS consensus was that the NMM was worth the time and that some folks might benefit from my struggles with it. I’ll try and get those up soon.
On this one there is a LOT of gold. And much of that was unnecessary as there’s a lot of gilding (red and blue) in the concept art. However, since I’m using this project as an opportunity to improve my NMM…I went full gold (never go full gold). And it’s working. I’m getting a bit better at capturing that ineffable metallic sheen. I can’t do it consistently yet but some bits on this definitely read as metal when you catch it out of the corner of your eye.
Next up: Osiris. Not much metal there but I get to play with green, maybe my weakest color…after blue? So that’s something to look forward to.
