Sholto Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Getting there with my Showgirls, just the one left to do now (and then Wyrd'll release the Mechanical Doves...):- Used a Kolinsky Sable brush for the first time as I was finishing off this model. Nice brush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution Black Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 love the red! Can you tell us how you achieved it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sholto Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 The red on this one was really simple, actually (much simpler than on the Peacekeeper, for example). I primed white and then did a base coat with a mix of Red Gore and Mechrite Red. Two coats of that. Then I went around the edges of the dress and the yellow-gold trimmings with a mix of Devlan Mud and Baal Red washes. Some of the wash around the waist flowed slightly in the deepest folds of the dresses, and I just left it! Then I highlighted with pure Blood Red, and then did a final highlight with a mix of Blood Red and Blazing Orange. This last highlight was sparing, and there is none of it on the lower sections of the dress for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboStele Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Very cool, I like the red! I've thought about picking up an extra Mannequin so that I have one whenever I wanna use Colette's trigger. I'll have to keep this color in mind for painting ideas.

mooby Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Mate that is awesome, the yellow ribboning is great. One thing, how did you do the base? Colours and texture etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sholto Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Mate that is awesome, the yellow ribboning is great. One thing, how did you do the base? Colours and texture etc The base is pre-textured plasticard, from Wills Models. You can get it online. It comes in sheets, and I cut inserts out using a circle cutter. For painting, I painted it Vallejo Beasty Brown and then did a wash of a 50/50 mix of Badab Black and Devlan Mud. I will gloss varnish it later. BIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGG +50 Geek Points :D:D:D Man, I'm racking up those points. Can I sell them on Ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegel Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I like the base and how you applied the wash, and her waist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
