Capes and more

I painted Eln's cape a week ago. Because I primed white I got this lovely shading effect with one single layer of green. For the Half-Elf I wanted a brown cape until I realized, that that cape must get a red lining. So he also got a green cape, but there I have to do much more shading due to the dark color and due to the liquidness of that color. I took again an older color which was going to dry up in the pot. Curses to the producer of cheap color pots. My 15 year old Games Workshop colors are still fine. But my 2 years old Games Workshop colors become (almost all of them) useless.

As you can see on the picture above, the red lining looks excellent. I made this picture at night. Sorry for that.

I did not paint the lining around the head part, yet. I need a better mood for that more difficult part.





The lady will maybe get a white robe. I just put a base layer "bleached bone" from the really old color range on it. So I can either highlight it more and more to get a white rag. But I can also put some chestnut ink on it to get a brown cloak. I bought a new red ink. Then it will become a red clothing.... No final decisions are done, yet.

The little guy on the left got some jade green on the pauldrons because they will be made of bronze. The axe will show no green when finished, for sure.

Giving Soul

For me, the moment when you give some paint to the faces, is always like giving the miniature a soul.

My GW Foundation Flesh Paint was already drought up. I painted only 3 miniatures with it :(

Now I bought the ArmyPainter skin tone. It is pretty dark I think so I have to highlight pretty much of that. Fortunately this are only 4 faces. The gnome should get a dark skin tone anyway.

This is all just the first layer. I had the green and purple just opened when I added the little pieces of color. Korgan's chest is not painted in flesh, it is a brown layer. Also Eln's leather pieces got a first brown layer.

One week later I put this black layer on all parts which should be covered with metal paint later. Also Korgan's hair is black now, so that I can drybrush it to dark-gray.

PS: hab vorhin erst nen Kommentar gesehen und frei geschaltet. Bitte nachschauen.

PSS: Fun fact: Korgan hat Falten in der Stirn. Die waren im Modell schon drin, jedoch so schwach, dass ich sicher war, dass die nachdem Farbe draufhatte kommt, nicht mehr zu sehen sind. Ich hab die vor dem Grundieren tiefer reingeschnitten mit nem Modellierwerkzeug. Das hat sich gelohnt! Das wir klasse!

Pinning

I pinnend Korgan's arm/hand, i.e. I drilled a hole and added a wire pin. This will increase stability.

I have only a 1.0mm drill here. The wire is 0.8mm so I had to fill some green stuff.

New drills are ordered at amazon.de :)

Korgan and the fur pants

So Farbe I spent more Time blogging than actual work. Today I gathered my first XP with proCreate. That is the grey putty. I added a metal ring to the beard. Then I experimented with an alternative cod piece. Fur pants don't look really good so I removed the putty again.

 

 

 

Korgan's Base Model and Beard extensions

Darksword miniatures again. The model comes with two weapon choices. The greens can be seen here. The model came with almost no visible mold lines. So I started with the beard extension. Not much to say. I am pretty happy with the result.

Tools:

And result

I used GW Green Stuff. I am not sure whether I will really try adding a ring to the beard. Bad picture :(

I am not sure what to do with the testicles protection. It looks a bit odd.
