Bot War - Painting Challenge 2023
Day 20 - back to the bases
Bit of a boring update, I managed to get some airbrush time in to lay down some basecoats on the Atlantican Infantry and Overlords bases. The opaque coverage of this brown mixture is so much better when it is airbrushed on (maybe I made this batch too thin), so for the Atlantican Infantry this was sprayed directly down from the top to try and minimise the amount of brown hitting the figures.
For the Overlords this was a bit trickier and was very carefully sprayed around each model’s feet with a very slow an steady air feed. I wanted to try and maintain as much of the white lateral prime on the model as possible as I intend to go over this with contrast paints.
The final week
And so I enter the final week.
Its going to be a big push to get everything completed in time, but with some careful planning and perhaps some late nights I should be OK.
I intend to knock out the Atlantican Infantry in one sitting, the UHH will help provide some background entertainment to it, and I can then call the Atlanticans done.
For the Overlords I think I will try and stick close to Boxart but bring my own style to them. I’ll group them into small groups of similar “skin” tone and try to knock out each group in 2 nights, leveraging contrast paints and some simplified NMM effects to get them done. One week left, 22 models to go ?
