Doctor Warlock Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I believe in beginnings, and even though I had the dreaded "powder effect" off my undercoat yesterday (I ened up cleaning them with a stiff nylon brush then re-applying the undercoat from a fresh can). I've officially made a start! So my Witch Hunters are all cleaned up, assembled and undercoated - the Purifying Flame was mis-aligned so he had considerable filing/cleaning up (you can still see the scar on his right socket, I'm hoping I can hide that in the painting), and I GS'd him "into" the base a little for effect. I'm HOPING (Family allowing LoL) to get some paint on Sonnia tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterdita Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Who? the Jawa witch hunters? I hate that powder white primer effect. I stopped using the GW stuff and never had the problem again. I find the $2 cans much better than the $10 ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an Army Painter Can, and the first time I've ever encountered it with their products! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterdita Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 huh. Never tried that stuff. But I do hate that dust and never had it with any other color than white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Warlock Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 huh. Never tried that stuff. But I do hate that dust and never had it with any other color than white. Neither have I! UPON saying that, the other thing I hate is when Black Undercoat comes out grey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piete Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Rock on. FWIW, I've been using the humbrol spray undercoat (a medium grey) and then their matte black over the top if I need to base them black. I've been really impressed. Even when I've been a bit gung-ho with the can, I've not managed to obscure any of the details. Regardless, keep us updated with your progress!

Doctor Warlock Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Managed to get a little work done last night (in between my hands playing up and my Dad phoning me every 5 minutes). Lady Justice and her Crew turned up today, and I am thinking of ordering the Arcanists "Miners & Steamfitters Union" Boxed set atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Not a bad start. I use nothing but good ol' Krylon spray primer (gray) - works great. A small bit of advice - I've found that working from the inside out makes it much easier to clean up mistakes. Start with the skin, then the cloth closest to the skin, and so on. It's easier to edge up from above to a lower level than to try to fit in a small section that is mostly covered (like Sonnia's shirt under the coat).

Doctor Warlock Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I paint weird, my brush goes where it wants. If it wants to paint the coat first, it will - I have zero control over it. All my Pulp City stuff was painted in this "weird" way And my Spinespur stuff - And Rezolution - I'm just "odd" I suppose . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambayoshi Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Great paintwork Doc! Can I just ask what base inserts you have there on your Sonnia crew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Warlock Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Great paintwork Doc! Can I just ask what base inserts you have there on your Sonnia crew? They are the Malifaux Bayou Base Inserts! I love them, I just ordered some of the Victorian Street Base Inserts - I plan to use them on my Arcanists (that I am ordering as soon as I finish my Guild LoL).

Omenbringer Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Dont usually like Pink in models but I think this will pull off quite nicely on Sonnia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfen Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Looks great, but I guess I never pictured Sonnia (my main master) as a 'pink' girl. Very impressive paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Warlock Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I've never painted anything Pink in my life before, but she insisted Witchlings almost done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
