Moonstone with not multi award winning painting
The Goblin Airship part 2
Step 6
Painted the wood. This is minor section but went GW Dryad bark and then used Gorthor Bron and Baneblade brown
Step 7
I painted the entire frog green using P3 Gnarls green. I then used Rakarth Flesh for the pale underbelly. Even after a few coats it looked garbage – I couldn’t even take a picture of it. So repainted with the same green. It did give me slight variations in the skin tone, so ended up not being a complete waste.
I then highlighted using GW waagh green then warboss green and skarsnik green. This was followed by a heavily watered down phalanx yellow for a final highlight and to lighten the belly slightly.
Step 8
i painted the GW eyes ironach skin to lighten them up, then used Vallejo white
Step 9
the eyes were fine but I didn’t like them so checked out a few frog pictures and decided the red eyed tree frog looked cool, so would try that. I used Scalecolor Aldern red. Used black for the pupils.
I also painted the frog’s tongue and the pilot’s skin GW busman’s skin to Cadian flesh to Kislev flesh.
Step 10
as I liked the tree frog, I thought I would try the paler belly again. This time I went GW Zandri dust. Then highlighted with ubshanti bone and screaming skull
step 11
gave the metal a wash with some thinned down nuln oil, then highlighted the silver back up
there may be few other things that I forgot to mention but this does cover most steps.
i do now need to find a 40mm base as i seem to have lost this one but i can sort that out some other time.
If anyone has any suggestions on doing something differently, feel free to comment
It didn’t hit me until now that the Japanese manga and anime for Sgt. Frog is very close to the image in my head when I look at your airship. Thank you for a momentary laugh for the day.
