King of the Dead Grenadier Master Class

[Frank-Holger]

Hello All!

To show that I sometimes paint a figure and do not only sculpt, here is a KING OF THE DEAD from Grenadier Master Class. It is a kit from the 80ties, cast in pewter (high quality casting!) and ultradetailed! Sadly, this kit is no longer available (to my knowledge). It is painted in "old fashioned" oil- and enamel colours with several glazings and washings. Only the base is not finished yet Hope you all like fantasy figures!

Frank,
that rust effect is impressive! How do you do that?

I have used a product called INSTANT RUST. It´s a grey colour with metall pigments in it and an clear Activator which you brush over the gey colour. You can look when it rusts! It is real rust, no weathering technique!

Well Maurizio , you should really sculpt a Napoleonic Star Trek Chasseur !! What do you think ?

 

[Frank-Holger]

Christos, thanks! And yes, these rust effects looks impressive, but one have to take care not to overdo it. But all those weahtering techniques are fine and very interesting, and you can add a lot even on a modern day figure!
