Traders Galaxy Painting Challenge 2024 - Day 20
Things never go to plan. Work and an unexpected event has left me with only minimal time today to progress. But this is a challenge so we battle on.
The Beastlords are still plodding along like a Diplodocus. I gave them a little yellow wash on the yellow. I went over some of the grey again to get a more uniform finish, so hopefully tomorrow I can start a little shading. As I said before I want these to look very much like they are in the cartoon so most shading will be simple blocks, the way I like it!
Here’s a curve ball, I won’t get time to finish it in the challenge but just to show you that size does matter. The COILS ABT has been blown up 375% on the old FDM (plastic) printer. I primed it with grey at lunch.
The Mongoose got another paint on the wheel arches and a little more detail added.
Not very exciting but I’ve finished my smoke plume for the wrecked Buzzard on the Diarama, so that will get stuck on at some point tomorrow.
Then here’s something to get wrapped up in , a bunch of tentacles! They are actually off the classic Gorg model from the MyMinifactory Trides monthly subscription, but I’m going to use them as a creature from the deep in the diarama.
I started painting up some of the Classic Democracy Infantry that I had printed off. You probably can’t see but I put a first coat on what will represent my version of Snakeyes, Breaker and Lifeline. Again, the heroes are all coming to the diarama!
Lastly, the Light tanks and the Defiance got a little gun metal detailing and a little more shading on the windshield.
Big Tonk!
