2 Jan 2024: Trolling all 'round

October 7, 2024

Getting near the end of this project, just have to finish those three trolls that got missed 6 years ago.
I got the paints that seemed the nearest match and got the base colours down.

Base colours down, pre-metallics

Probably right, went for a darker green for these big guys

I didn’t get any more photos after this point, but the process was

Paint on thinned AP Strongtone Quickshade dip
Drybrush stone with Citadel Celestra Grey
Varnish with AP Anti-Shine Matt Varnish
Have Matt Varnish cloud up really well
Get really frustrated
Forget that I’ve already had this happen in this same project, 6 years ago
Leave them out of the hobby room, because I can’t look at them

You know, the usual.

3 Oct 2023: Finally finished them

While going through and picking out some bits and pieces to finish off, I picked up these three. Still clouded from the previous incident. I figured I’d get them done, but I’d have to strip and re-do them.
I started the job on one… then I remembered the oil trick. *sigh*
I used that on the other two, and they came up clean. I repainted the third and then got them varnished. This time, the varnish got super-prepped: One minute under my arm; one minute of shaking; one minute in a hot water bath; another minute of shaking. Also, heat gun on stand-by for post-spray treatment.
Over the top? Probably. But it had been raining again recently, and I’m impatient to call this project done, but not wanting to risk the clouding again.
