WIP A Brave New World

[kagemusha]

What’s it like more side on? I am keen to see how it will look on display say on a shelf...there is a ton of relief there that’s not fully coming thru the photos

Will try and get some pics later for you

 

[kagemusha]

All a bit beyond me , but stunning affects AKA air brush

I love the freedom of fantasy pieces....and I do enjoy all the effects etc. that you can use.
Much as I love using the airbrush...in this instance it was only used to lay in the base shades....what you see in the later pics is all brush work....simply because it's easier to control all the different effects.

Thanks for taking the time to comment

 

[kagemusha]

Those are really well detailed pieces Ron and you have done them superbly, almost a pity to dirty them up!
Steve

Hi mate....yes...the detail on these pieces is excellent....but you know me Steve...I love playing with effects

Don´t know why I missed it here and everything is said before. So

 

[kagemusha]

Quick update....
Those of you that know me of old...won't be surprised at this!
I simply wasn't at all pleased with the head...so...a quick 'Dettol' bath...and three mist coats of primer later..........



Back to the drawing board ......

Thanks

 

[grasshopper]

Thanks was for side shot offer..I can see why you redid the head..better luck this time

 

[kagemusha]

Having made the decision to start over on the head...it left me to decide how I would approach it this time around.
I settled on trying to replicate what would happen to real metal...i.e. rust and oxidisation underneath the paint...with areas of 'clean' metal around some of the damage....and across the surface in general.

First up...rust and oxidisation....



continues in next post.................

 

[grasshopper]

Would there be oil leaks? Fire damage? It’s similar to an afv build

 

[kagemusha]

Having let the previous step dry....I started to lay in some shades of metal...nothing fancy...just good'ol dry brushing



Will let this dry for 24 hours....then back to the oils.

to be continued........

Yep...all to come later

 

[grasshopper]

So it's true then....vision can become clearer....even with old eyes as long as desire is there...….I know it's true..

That....and a new pair of glasses helps mate

 

[Wayneb]

Yeah.....that's real comical....I

 

[Wayneb]

Yeah.....that's real comical...I just went for an eye exam last week and I do need a new pair, plus a cataract on the right eye starting. My right shoulder is shot and I finally realized I may never pitch again. But then I realized that I still have my miniatures to paint; and I still have a home and a nice back yard to cut the grass while I think about the piece I'm working on while I contemplate, which direction should I cut the grass and which pair of optivisors I should buy.

Well you can't get more optimistic than that mate

My grandfather used to say that as we age it’s not how well we do things rather just that we do them..the pleasure is in the doing as much as any result. keep trying, and don’t look back..
