Fig by Westwind which was a very criply cast with no flash and only a slight mold line. Lovely detail which lent itself well to drybrushing and washing, and I'm very happy with the result overall.
Recipe:mid/dark grey spray undercoated and basecoated
3 successively lighter grey drybrushes
pants - olive green
detail on lips and claws
gyphone sepia washon body, devln mud wash on pants
highlights
made up my own blood effects mixing red ink and a bit of badab black wash- wanted some colour but not over the top gory
then I did the basing - should have done this first but I wanted to get into the painting.
So overall a great model which looks good, but I just read the rules and found out that there are three to a unit...Doh!
I have been desperately avoided starting to collect these. I can give it up any time I like, whimper.
ReplyDeleteWell, the first one looks like a "howling" success!!

John- I find self control to be self defeating-give in!
ReplyDeleteOwen- shocker...try harder mate!
This stuff is like gamers crack. At the moment i'm staying off it, but my friend has got a good collection of Germans and Yanks and i can feel my resolve going.
