Hi All
Been thinking about a medi unit dio, I have been trying to create the blood effect, and not the red paint effect, been experimenting to try and get that coagulated oldish blood look.

I would like to know if this effect would pass, and also what do you guys use to simulate blood, and any tips you may have.

Thanks for reading.

Looks good. Maybe a little darker,in my thankfully limited experience only very fresh blood is really red. How did you get that spatter?
Cheers
Steve

Thanks for the input Steve, I will attempt to darken it, I know what you mean, more coagulated. The blood splatter was created by dipping a brush in the blood brew and touching the crown on the airbrush, then just fire it at the target.

Looks great Ray - may have to borrow that technique at some stage.
I agree with Steve though - a touch darker.
Cheers
Paul

Okay guys took on board what you said, added a bit more black oil paint to the mix, am I getting closer?.
Thanks all for looking.

Spot on!
...STRETCHER BEARER! (or whatever the translation is in German)

Paul
ps. Do you have any work to show us? You seem very knowledgeable and I'd love to see some examples.
pps. Keep the tips coming they are excellent

Ray, as Paul said "spot on' , looks very realistic. If you want to see real blood and body parts there is a site called rotten.com, not for the faint hearted but shows real gunshot wounds and ballistic effects on bodys as well as other weird and gory stuff. DEFIANTLY NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH.

Regards

Splatter pattern is good but if he is just laying down bleeding, would there be spatter?
As others have mentioned fresh blood is pretty bright or really dark, depends where he was shot. Blood from a liver shot will be so dark it would apper black on most other surfaces other than white.
Old blood stains would be hedging towards brown dried blood would be a sort of deep red. The most important thing to remeber is gravity. Blood runs down hill. A small amount of wicking will of course show where fabric will absorbe the blood and spread it outwards from the wound.
Hope that is of some help.

Thanks for the input and kind words, nice to know im getting there.
Thanks Paul, alas my knowledge is just paint related im sorry to say, worked with colours and colour matching most of my life, this forum has all the knowledge you need.
Rough old site Darren, but some good blood pics to use as referrence.Thanks for the input.

Nearly forgot, the blood mix is Tamiya Clear Red, then keep touching it with a brush dipped in Black oil paint wash.
You can apply this to bandages also on your models, let the blood mix set and do a very light burnt sienna wash on the outline of your blood stain.

Thanks for the info Ian, everything helps, much appreciated.The splatter was a test thing as I wanted to know how it would dry, going to use it up a wall, I fancy the idea of the medics in a building, with another building opposite with a Russian sniper in it.
