edonil Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yeah. Who knows when I'll be able to get any of these...might be interesting to get one of the more active ones and try to build it as a scene for the Gencon Large Scale contest...

Mako Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Later web! I think that by the end of this weekend, I want to have the Maruts and dead justice cleaned up and ready for priming. Hopefully I'll get time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Sounds like a good goal. That reminds me, had a question for you about layering colors over other ones... If I want to do an orange heartlike thing under the blues for the Hailkin, when should I start that in the process? And when doing the blues, I'm just painting in thin, thin, thin layers, right?

Mako Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hmm. I think I'd start with the midtone and shading for the blues, then do the orange, then use really really thin layers for midtone and highlights over the top of it. That way, the glow sits in the shading and your highlights cover it naturally, but you don't have to try to fade the shading onto the glow. ---------- Post added at 04:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 AM ---------- I need to make a lot of cobbles, ruined stone walls and rubble I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 For the diorama? Is it bad that I think the base is going to be the simplest part of mine? (sigh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Nah, the dio is on sort of hold until I get the others well underway. It's for the crew, they need a group base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Well, so far, the first Hailkin is progressing nicely...not sure if the glow effect is working or not, but I'll see what people say once I get pics up. How's everyone doing this wee hour of the morning? And Monkey, you can't make it Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Morning all. How's things? Can't wait to see the pics Ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'm hoping to put them up when I get home, get some feedback before I move on to the other two. Things are going well. Work isn't as annoying tonight, and I've got Lupin III 2nd season playing while I paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Sounds good. I'm hoping for a nice day at work without too much to get done, but it's early so who knows how that will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamHammer Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hope you get a reply soon. Ah layering. How I curse thee. Unless it's simply layering thin layers of the same paint to get a smooth coat then something always goes wrong for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
