When I'd left off the models were more or less done with the red stage, so I went in and added a bit more shading here and there in the recesses, and painted all the elbow, hip and knee ribbing in black. Started one model's gold before I caught myself and snapped a quick pic!

All the gold trim laid in and washed, definitely the most painstaking part as I definitely didn't want to spill onto the red, as I'm more or less unable to 're-paint' the red (one downside to the airbrush portion that I've run across for sure).
Finally for the day's session was the basic light grey that will undercoat all the white areas. Definitely helps the models suddenly snap into focus and start to look like Thousand Sons! Tomorrow I intend to get the whites finished up, and lay into the various khaki, leather and bone colors. Moving right along!

I am always bowled over by the amount you set yourself to do and achieve. I struggle to paint 5 space marines at a time, let alone 20! :D
ReplyDeleteThey are coming along nicely, the red is really nice. Is it the FW airbrush paint?
Yes indeed the white really helps them pop and drags them into the right look. Well played.
ReplyDeleteGeez, look at all that red o_O
ReplyDeleteBehold the magical manufacturing of models! How do you paint so fast? :)
ReplyDeleteHere I am moaning about painting 10 DG at once :)
ReplyDelete@NafNaf: Hah! Thanks man. It's a tamiya clear red over a gold basecoat - Still not 100% sold on it, I still kinda prefer the traditional brushwork look if I'm honest.
ReplyDelete@Rory Priest: Thanks very much!
@Zab: Hah! There's piles and piles of it to do! Noooooooo...
@John Stiening: Cheers, man! It's all about audiobooks to distract me from the tedium and biting off discrete chunks of the project, I try and set a goal of two or three colors per session and before I know it there's a whole mess of 'em done!
@Greg Hess: On the other hand, your 10 are waaaay cooler than these Thousand Sons. It has been a bit of an experiment with these guys and the jury is still out...
Thanks very much for the kind words, everyone!
Goodness... 20-at-a-time.
ReplyDeleteO.O
I'd go mad.
@Dai: Haha! 20 of these basic tactical guys wasn't too bad, they're fairly unadorned. Doing the 20 veterans on the other hand, that very nearly unmade me. Oof!
