Malebolgia Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Mortar Team #1 Mortar Team #2 (the gunner is missing his left eye...hence the red and black eye socket ) Those were painted for the WARMACHINE Patrols 2006 for my June schedule. I really liked painting them and I really love the combination of the red and green together. They were excellent to try out my new VGC Brassy Brass and Glorious Gold (which I really like together). That combined with Tamiya Clear Orange+black makes a nice and easy gold. I still have to do the Devastator before next Saturday, so I will start on him tonight!

Ritual Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Looks great! That colour combination looks good, indeed! The only slight gripe I have here is that the grass looks a bit too green and springy next to the melting snow. It should be more yellow/brown...

vincegamer Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Nice way to get red and green and not look christmas. Good job, though the browns could be blended more and the mortar drilled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only slight gripe I have here is that the grass looks a bit too green and springy next to the melting snow. It should be more yellow/brown... Yeah, I hear that a lot. Unfortunately I haven't found brown grass in my neighbourhood yet...and until then my Khador will have a Disney look @Vincegamer: I tried drilling them (you can see it if you look closely), but it needed a huge drill (about 5mm) and that was too much work for 25 points IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 You can paint the grass with diluted paint once it's firmly glued on to the base... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Very nice, good colors and a strong balance on them. I agree with Anders about the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I must disagree about the grass. Sure, for the dead of winter it may be yellowish...BUT, the slushy snow makes it feel like a spring surprise snowfall, when the grass has already livened up, but winter keeps showing up.... It happens here in Iowa every spring.... Great solid color tones. I like it alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
