Talos Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Finished my first Friekorp model on Tuesday. I dont know if I like the colour scheme, I did not have the right colours to try the offical scheme so I tried something else. I think he may be a little dull, I gave him a second wash of blue and I think it dulled the highlights to much. Any help on this model would be great. I think I need something extra to make him pop.

Ratty Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I really like the scheme, it looks like the whole armour is some kind of steampunk machine. If anything give it a few very thin green washes in patches so it defines it to the viewers as brass rather than just bling. The blue looks cool, but I'm always a bit more into realistic paint schemes, If you do wash it I would add a tiny bit of black (very tiny, black is a really strong pigment) so it doesn't turn out too blue.

Absolution Black Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I really like the scheme too. Although as Ratty has said, the armour could do with being a bit more brassy, at the moment it does look golden.... I think the blue is fine as it is, doesn't really need any more. I look forward to seeing the rest of the crew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karn987 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Nice! I love the scheme, very shiny. Reminds me of Kick Ass's costume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Agree with everyone on the armor. I like it how its done, but it could do with the wash treatment. I think the blue is solid but if you're into the brighter look like me then it could use another highlight - if you're more like Ratty then go his way. The only thing I might do different would be to make eyes a fiery orange color instead of the green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talos Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 The armour is just brass washed with black. I have given it a wash of orgyn flesh and it looks alot better. Thinking if I should highlight it with brass and then maybe sliver on highest points. I changed the eyes to red and they look alot better. I am trying to make them look like glass but they eyes are to small for me to highlight them. Thanks for the kind comments I was not really sure about this paint scheme.

dgraz Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 If you can't highlight the eyes, you can do a simple highlight by just putting a dot of white on each lens - put it in an upper corner equidistant from the rim and the center - put it in the same spot on each eye. Once that's dry, coat the entire lens with a brush on gloss. It's not as nice as crazy highlighting, but it'll do the job at tabletop level.

pugwhan Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Looks great. Makes me think of a steampunk Judge Dredd.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
