My first (mostly) finished transport vehicle! Man, I gotta tell you I seriously need to get an airbrush before I try painting something like this again. Pain in the buttocks.
It took me a while to figure out how to make it look halfway decent, some advice from the Warhammer Reddit forum had me layering down some ink along the bottom to give it more depth, plus a brighter tone along the top. This would have been WAY easier with an airbrush right from the start.
I'm mostly happy with it, though I'm probably going to be touching it up for a while. But have some photos!
My budget doesn't stretch to airbrushes but for vehicles I've started base-coating using two spray cans - a darker colour than you want for the base coat and then a "pass" with the lighter main colour over the top of the vehicle so that the paint "falls" on the main areas but leaves a gradient down the sides of the vehicle. then it's just clean-up and line highlighting (and everything else). Theres some terrible photos of my LandRaider done this way here: http://tinymens.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/blood-ravens-landraider-completed.html
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea. I'll likely try that first since airbrushes are expensive! Your landraider looks great by the way.
