edonil Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Yeah, I'm home tonight rather than at the shop...wasn't feeling too well. Played Space Marine today...not a bad game, but I'm glad I rented it. The game got a heckuva lot better once the Chaos forces showed up, Orks just aren't that interesting an opponent.

TheOneWhoFell Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 yeah... the NMM is NOT going well... I think I'm gonna take it to the shop and borrow some ink from the owner.... paint over EVERYTHING with the ink, then touch up.... see how it looks... then strip it down if it looks like hell... I'm not sure it's gonna get better, but I'll use Metallics next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Pictures? Maybe we can give you some feedback. What kind of ink were you thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regnak Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Yeah, I seem to be going through a "Nothing seems to work" painting phase at the moment.. really annoying... its like I've suddenly lost the ability to paint anything half decent and none of the colours seem to work... Grrrr... Also trying to greenstuff hair... that is fraking hard to get right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 quality isn't great but http://s1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee497/theonewhofell/Anima/?action=view¤t=frontone.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 yeah... I'm worried that it's an issue with me, but the quality of the models are an issue too... I think I need some new brushes too... hopefully this month some time... we'll see :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 What NMM are you going for? I will say, the model quality isn't that great there...hadn't heard Anima did mechs ever. Are you trying to keep it a clean and new look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I started with a white base... used some blues and purples... and it still looks really flat (see pic).... The model is good quality... grrr... I just don't know what to do... the ink is from a company that ONLY does inks... I don't recall the name off my head... they have a shiny finish... so I'm hoping that will help... then I'll start over from there... and if it works... great... if it doesn't... I'll simple green it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 More just curious what kind of a color scheme you were aiming for. And is this for a client or for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 wow fell asleep on the couch laptop on lap .... guess I needed some zzzz's . @ fell - yeah on commission painting you will come across sculpts that really dont paint well , usually from the smaller companies . I just did a bloodbowl team that had really bad sculpts I wasnt to happy with them , but the client was happy . I was so happy when these where done , I really didnt want tosit at the table when they where on it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoeRender Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 For commission work where time is money I usually prime black , also unless you want to put in the time working from a black base is easier to make white look good on a large scale . with the pictured model I would prime black and work in grey than work up too white .

TheOneWhoFell Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I took the pic on my ipod... not so good for minis.... I think I want it to be more of a blue metalic, so I'm gonna ink the whole thing blue, use some darker blues to low light, then work up to a really pale blue and mithral silver... I'm hoping it'll work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
