Weathering is subtle but heaps effective. Nice work on the frame, lots of detail on that one.

That would have to be close to the size of Sazabi Ver.Ka

Thanks Luke.

I don’t want to loose the titanium details so I thought I’d dry brush them early in the process.

I don’t know about that. The Ver KA box is huge!!

So I had to try the pilot with the citadel paints



Black primer



White dry brush or over brush as its wetter for more coverage to show details.



Blue



Red



Ivory



Olive green



Black wash



I was going to highlight the ivory n green where the light would land but I’m really happy with how he looks atm. Wishing I painted the standing pilot now while the paint was out. I’ll do a batch paint on those figure when I have more

Wow, must be using some magnification to be able to see and paint that pilot.
What brush you using ??

[sandboarder]

What brush you using ??

Thanks!! I’m using a pointy Citadel brush https://www.pcmarket.com.au/citadel-medium-glaze-brush only putting the slightest pressure on the brush when it touches the model. Thinking about the brush strokes in my head and then make the hands copy. Using the black recess as a guide. Using the order helps as the Ivory can touch up mistakes made with blue and red. Then the Green can touch up mistakes made with Ivory while the wash hides mistakes as well

Holy hell that's some crazy good painting on that pilot

[Luke]

So you used no visual magnifier ??

[sandboarder]

Thanks Slowly!!

So you used no visual magnifier ??

Nope.

I’m finding painting mini’s is mostly mental and then having the right products, then skill.

[Luke]

Whoa, id need a microscope to do a pilot figure

[sandboarder]

Don’t stress, you can only see his hands and feet once in the cockpit



I just need to paint the missiles and finish the eye now.

[Luke]

Ah ! The effort!! and you only see half, how disappointing. Close the hatch and you wont see anything

Starting to come together now mate, looking good.

Looks so clean and tidy, that green is perfect for my 'rolla.
