My lad gave me another figure to have a crack at.

I'm happy with how the candy chrome experiment went for the main armour, but some bits didn't turn out quite as I'd planned (scabbard in particular), but it's all good fun and great practice

Andy,
Lovely job, the good thing about these figures is you can let your imagination run wild.

Cheers Paul.

Yes, I can just play around with different things to see what happens. If it all goes pear shaped I can just strip it and start again

Lovely job Andy, these new primaris figures really are a joy to throw paint at.

Thanks Mick.

As you can see, that's exactly what I did lol

 

[Tim Marlow]

Looks great to me Andy. What didn’t you like about the scabbard?

 

[Deleted member 7181]

Thanks Tim.

I was aiming for a kind of gradual fade from blue to purple. Looked great when it was wet but dried almost one colour.

Tricky to do with acrylics I know but I'll have another go tomorrow. Several layers of more transparent colour/ glaze I reckon.

 

[Tim Marlow]

I can just see the colour change when looking closely Andy. Probably right ref. more layers, red pigment is quite transparent. Might be worth a little edge highlighting to bring out the shape as well?

Excellent work Andy

Love that candy blue!

 

[Deleted member 7181]

Thanks Chris, it was a bit of an experiment after seeing some pictures online.

Gloss black > Alclad chrome > Clear blue (AK acrylic)

Hi Andy
Although these are not my thing I do recognise how well it's painted. My son (40+years old) is really into this type of thing.

Thanks Jim.

Yes, it's much more my lads thing too, but I'm finding them really enjoyable.

Terrific eye candy. Looks lie you had a lot of fun mate. Great to see you trying something different.

 

[Deleted member 7181]

Thanks Steve, it was a fun little side line project.

My next marine Andy is a conversion, given him a bionic leg after seeing some pics in one of the GW codex books

Sounds interesting Mick, I hope you share some pictures.
