    First finished terminator

    So here is my first model that I've actually FINISHED. It's not going to win any golden demons, but I'd actually be proud to put it on the field. C & C are very welcome.

    That's a great first Terminator. Very clearly Salamanders, although I personally prefer a darker green.

    I always go back and touch-up spots I missed and went over. It is tough sometimes when you are just done with the model to go back, but if you clean up the edges of the gold/green (left leg, near helmet) and black in the right elbow, it will make a big difference.

    Also, black wash all the gold. In fact, black wash the entire model. 1 part ink/5 parts water. Or 1 part Chaos Black/15 parts water. It'll clean up all the lines and tie the model together really nicely, while dulling the gold as it's very "blingy" at the moment.

    Good start though!

    It's already had one wash of Badab Black at this point. So one more?

    Be a pit more picky on the fluid placement. Essentially, you should shoot to blackline everything. It'll pull out the color a bit more. And really go heavy on the gold. In fact, if you want me to give you my 8 or something step gold process to make gold look (in my opinion) damn good, let me know.

    Or: Chainmail with 2 washes of gryphonne sepia, and a mix on asurman blue and thraka green in the recesses



    (I did not paint those)

    Step 1) Shining gold
    2) chestnut ink
    3) shining gold drybrush
    4)black wash
    5)shining gold/chainmail (50/50) drubrush
    6)thinner black wash
    7)pick details with 25/75 bronze/mithril silver


    It'll look about a mile deep. It's really a pretty way to paint gold.

    Great, now how about a formula with paints that people can actually buy.

    Whatever the equivalent of it is. Screw you! I haven't bought a paint in a while.
