Silver Sea Dogs

I’ve been waiting for some books on Aztecs that I was getting for my Birthday,  and in the meantime decided to start on 1st of mythical Beasties. Sometime ago Kevin got me a box of Wargames Atlantic Giant Spiders, which I had put off building as he had found them a pain to build( the legs weren’t sticking on, thinknhis plastic cement was naff as when I used Tamya Liquid I had no problem)

I has already put some big tree Spiders in the Historical encounter table, which are supposed to be dog sized which appear in Ghost Archipelago,  and the Little one in the box are ideal. ( Historical in that they appear in most Jungle movies of the 30’s and 40’s in Hollyweird).

Now with these I thought I’d try a variation of the method Ben mentioned on OTT a couple of weeks ago, Where you undercoated Black, dry brushed Grey and White for Zenithing and then used contrasts over the top.

I didn’t have any black undercoat,  so with white base undercoat gave them a GW Gryph Charger Grey Base coat, to match the Dry brush effect.

I then messed it up by using the new GW Bad Moon contrast paint, which turned it yuk covering up most of the effect the grey had done.

To rescue them I had to go over them in GW Ivanden Yellow and the old stand by Thinned out Agrax Earthshade wash.

This was a bit long winded so the 2nd batch got the Grey base, then just Ivanden Yellow over the top which seems to have worked, seem to have got same effect without 2 extra processes.  Not finished yet but you can see effect.
