And barring a final wash in his mouth, the grey slate of rubble under one of his claws, and final highlights as I see fit, big daddy rhinosaur is done. Next up is the fighting throne, then the rider. Then a base, then on to more saurus.
Nice job, it looks fierce and organic. I think my only point of critique would be the lack of contrast between the bright scales and the gold parts. I would probably have aimed for something darker for one of those. But I think it is fine, it probably looks a bit more contrasty in real life. I experience that with my own models quite often.
Good job! But I have to admit that @Aginor is right according to the gold... but instead of making one of them (scales or armor) darker I would have used silver instead of gold ...
The gold will be highlighted. work has begin on the chair and rider. A terradon has been acquired for my imminent skylord conversion. issue 1: apparently army painter warpaints are extremely thin, i needed a deep blue for basecoating, and this stuff is almost a wash, even with extreme shaking. issue 2: work has been interrupted by the arrival of my aztec rolling pin and some bits from a long overdue order.
Duuuuuuuude. This thing is awesome. Here's a quick, thrown together test: And is this supposed to be a wash?
Nope that's the right consistency Army painter paints are thin, you apply 2 coats to get the desired colour, sometimes 3 coats are needed.
Yep, also be sure to shake them well, otherwise there might be drops of liquid coming out of the bottle that look like paint but aren't, especially when the paints are new or weren't used for a while. Also be careful, for most of them you don't have to thin them. If you use a wet palette then the water in the palette is already enough to have them very thin. I like that. Well, most of the time I like it. Only real exceptions are the metallics, Some of them are rather thick. Washes have red caps, "Deep Blue" is not a wash. EDIT: Oh, and @NIGHTBRINGER : Those rolling pins are awesome! I use them on fimo air basic (but they work on green/brown stuff and other materials just as well) and they are awesome, with fine details comparavle to resin GW models. There will be some examples in my paint blog soon.
