davidneat: ‘Model-making Basics’ – creating surfaces

davidneat: ‘Model-making Basics’ – creating surfaces : This is the fourth of five outline accounts dealing with what I consider to be the five defining areas of model-making work; main construction, fine construction, modelling/shaping, creating surfaces and painting. I’ve written these overviews in preparation for teaching sessions at RADA ( Royal Academy of Dramatic Art ) in London. So they’re tuned towards the specialities of theatre design model work, but most of the points will be relevant in general terms to model work in other disciplines. I’ve started with the general ‘themes’ or requirements of the subject, followed by more specific and practical guidance on the materials and methods which can be used.

Faeit 212: Warhammer 40k News and Rumors: Painter's Corner: Seven Layer Skin

Faeit 212: Warhammer 40k News and Rumors: Painter's Corner: Seven Layer Skin: Painting skin can be a simple process;  a wash or a focused drybrush.   Or it can be many many layers, not unlike actual human skin.  A little-known fact is that multiple layers of paint can be subtly translucent with light penetrating to the deeper layers and reflecting back out.  The human eye and mind do not consciously pick this up, but it can be a pleasing effect.

Korhain's hobby blog: Tutorial painting korhil's golden armor

Korhain's hobby blog: Tutorial painting korhil's golden armor: As I told you in last WIP post I have made step by step photos while painting Korhil's golden armor, as I was trying out another way of painting gold. I was very happy with the result so I decide to make a tutorial for you guys. Only one thing, I have painted this in two parts one in the evening and the other half in afternoon so the pic quality is changing because of the reflecting sunlight in combination with my lamps. But don't worry to much and hit the read more button to find out how to paint korhil's golden armor the Korhain way ;)

Realm of Chaos 80s : Arcane Armorials: Painting an Oldhammer Banner Par...:

Now the last time we spoke I had left you with a banner with a completed face. This time, I aim to take you through what I did to finish off the banner design. To be honest, it ended up a little trial and error at times, remember this is the first time I have tried something like this, but I am happy with the resilts. Like last post I will take you through a short step by step guide of what I did in the hope that others are inspired enough to have a go, no matter their skill level.

Realm of Chaos 80s : Arcane Armorials: Painting a Citadelesque Banner P...: If you recall my last post, I described to you how I built myself an old school style banner. Well, now its is time to start the process of painting one. Large banners of this type are going to be THE central focus point of your army, so getting the paint job right is very important. The skills employed are very similar to those used on freehand shields, only on a larger scale. Now, shields don't take me long. Maybe 30 minutes not including drying time. This first part of my banner tutorial reflects about two and a half hours work, including drying time. I am still a long way from finishing, but I hope I can show you how I went about painting the central 'Ogre Face' design.

Realm of Chaos 80s : Arcane Armorials: Constructing an Oldhammer Banner...: In issue 102 of White Dwarf there is an excellent article about how to get the best out of painting shields and banners. I am sure that it was highly inspirational in its day, and it remains so today. When I first started out painting shields for my Realm of Chaos campaigns several years ago I knew that freehand shields were going to be essential to the old school look I was going to go for with the paint jobs.

Adeptus Painter: Tutorial de Ensuciar Orugas y Tanques

Adeptus Painter: Tutorial de Ensuciar Orugas y Tanques: Bueno, tras darle a los pigmentos, ya está listo. Lo primero es tener las orugas en la matríz, ya que luego es muy difícil hacer el proceso con ellas montadas. Lo mejor es dejar uno o dos agarres en el lado del que las orugas irán hacia adentro y limar bien la zona de fuera. También hay que preparar un botecito con una mezcla de Matt Medium (Vallejo) y agua destilada.
