This scheme is based off the studio scheme and rulebook artwork. I've found painting yellow isn't all that tricky and rather rewarding to be honest. |
Just a couple WIP
pictures of Lug thus far. I’ve still loads to get done on his grey parts, black
stripes, green glowy bits and facial details. O and the base, though that’s
going to be very simple metallic. I hope to get more painting done tonight and
might even get him complete if I have enough time after working out.
Kind of wished I'd glued him further back on his base - the mini is a little front heavy. Might add some counter-weight to the underside of the base's rear area to compensate. |
(Betty has also gotten a little paint on her, but the orange I had tried using left a horrible finish, so I may well have to strip her *ooo err missus* and start again.)
*O and to allay any
fears to the contrary, I have NOT given up alcohol. The title to my last
post was in response to the “World Book Day/week/month/whatever” posts I’d seen
of late. “Five give up the Booze” is a book I’d recently finished reading based
off of Enid Blyton’s Famous Five series – some sort of parody novel.
Cheers.
Great WIP, Dai. The yellow is looking very impressive. Great miniature which your paint-brush is doing full justice to :-)
ReplyDeleteAs ever you are the flatterer mate. Hope to have the finished piece up over the weekend.
DeleteNow that's an impressive piece of work.
ReplyDeleteThanks! ^_^
DeleteGreat stuff mate!
ReplyDeleteI have to be honest I really enjoy painting yellows.
ReplyDeleteNice paint job.
Cheers mate. Hope you'll like the finished product too.
DeleteI dig it - That's looking great, man!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate - not up to the standards of your own lovely Yellow recipe, but I like it. :)
DeleteVery, very nice - I always struggle with bright colours so that's particularly impressive!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I struggle with darker colours like slate greys and black. Weird how that works.
DeleteCheers Ed.
Nice start some lovely surfaces on that mini. Its gonna be a corker when finished.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon - hope to get lots more done this weekend.
DeleteI agree with everyone else - you really nailed that anime yellow. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThanks lots mate. Anime tends to be bright and happy for the most part and the artwork for this bloke doesn't dissapoint, so I've good reference points for sure.
DeleteVery nice, nice yellow which to be honest I'm a bit hit or miss with.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
I really should start sticking up my painting recipes when I'm doing these to hopefully help people try out newer and easier ways of doing stuff... Hrm...
DeleteOoh very nice, I'm only vaguely familiar with these miniatures but I heartily approve of those crisp bold colours, fine work sir.
ReplyDeleteCheers Kieran! Lovely of you to drop by.
DeleteVery Nice work. I find yellow incredibly challenging to get a good even coverage.
ReplyDeleteI think starting off with mustard type base helps. Also a grey primer. At least for me.
DeleteCheers mate
