Hi Luther, thanks for the inspiration. This guy looks great! I liked the bass so much I’ve ordered some myself. Do you mind me asking what tones/paint you used to do the base? Thanks, Luke
Thanks Luke!
Colours for the base were:
– Vallejo 71.029 (shadows) and 71.027 (highlights)
– Airbrush spray of Citadel Seraphim Sepia
– Drybrush Vallejo 70.837
– Tamiya Panel Line Accent Dark Brown for the cracks and crevices
For the rusty steel:
– Vallejo 70.985
– Nuln Oil Wash
– AK Light Rust wash around the bottom
– AK Rusty Streaks running down underneath
Thanks Luther!
Hi again Luther, do you spray the seraphim sepia liberally as a wash or just to accent the shadows?
Hi Luke,
I sprayed it all over but not so much that the base became wet. It’s basically a filter to darken and tint the colour all over.
Cheers,
Luther
Thanks Luther
Hello, make a paint job Crimson Fists, I will be happy to buy from you.
They are on my list 😉
Awesome – can I ask where the base is from?
Thanks! Sure, it’s from Unreal Wargaming Studios – highly recommended!
Hi Luther. Do you recall which head that you used for this chap?? which kit ??
Cheers
Noel
Hi Noel, yes! It’s from the Outriders (they new Primaris bikes)
Hi Luther! Love your work and the awesome transfers you sell! Quick question: Could you please share the colors and technique you use for painting the white shoulder pads / helmet / kneepad? Thanks!
Hi Robert, thanks!
For the white I use the Andrea Color White Paint Set, which I highly recommend! I only use the base and the three highlight colours (in number order) and I give it a coat of Agrax Earthshade mixed 1:1 with Lahmian Medium for shading and to give it an off-white, slightly brown / dirty look.
For yellow I base with Vallejo Model Color Goldbrown, then layer Flat Yellow and Golden Yellow, edge highlight with Ivory and give it a coat of Reikland Fleshshade mixed with a little Lahmian.
On this particular model everything also got a coat of AK Streaking Grime, with the excess removed with mineral spirits. So it’s all dirtier and grimier than usual.
Hope that helps!
Perfection! Thanks for the super clear write-up!
