Draconis: Spring Clean 2024 and onward
Gorilla Warfare
11th May 2024
Continuing the spirit of ‘Spring Clean’, I have had this Panzeraffe mini (from Incursion / Secrets of the Third Reich Weird WW2) sitting around for many years primed. I think last year I put a bit of paint on one arm…..
Began the process by painting up all the fur. Started out with black contrast, followed by brown washes in places, a drybrush with grey, an overall black wash and then some lighter fur on the upper areas – plus some white/grey on the cheeks to break up the dark and try to echo some of the original art. I also gave the metal areas a black undercoat.
The shirt was painted with foundry leather, washed, drybrushed and highlighted up.
Chest was highlighted with a mix of contrast wildwood and ivory in several stages.
The trousers were contrast green, a black wash and then a lighter drybrush over the knee and ‘posterior’ regions.
Pouches picked out with castellan green, then highlighted in several stages with ever lightening mix of castellan and ivory.
Metal areas were started out with Vallejo gunmetal, washed with Agrax, then highlighted up with various shades of silver, focusing on areas such as the knuckles.
Finally, among other little bits, it was picking out the hoses with some brighter colours, face and teeth (several shades for his big teeth!), belt, and various buttons etc.
Pretty happy with him overall ? (but may add some tufts to the base possibly).
