Blog Painting of Renown! (Just kidding... but this is my blog)

Next steps:

 

Progress!



Undercoating done on Fireborn #3



Flames done on Fireborn #2





Basic paint done for basing on Fireborn #1 (next is PVA layer, dry, then Mordant Earth! Exciting!)

 

Good work! It is coming together very nice.
Keep up the great work
Grrr, Imrahil

 

YAY!!!

My fellow Sorcerer-Prophet hard at work... Hashut is pleased!

 

Thanks guys! The encouragement definitely makes it easier to keep myself going on this project!

 

So did the PVA glue layer as advised by the lava-painting video on my Fireborn base:



Checked on him this morning and it is mostly dried see-through, just a little bit around the base which will hopefully be fully dry by tonight. I really want to try out the Mordant Earth!!!

Did an additional coat of black on the areas that I'm going to drybrush with Trollslayer Orange:

 

Liking the look of these! Looking forward to seeing the bases too!

 

Humph...

I think I did too much PVA on the base and possibly too much Mordant Earth as the cracks are HUGE and it kind of loses the lava theme...

I'll try less of the PVA and the Mordant Earth (as per the video the more you put on, the bigger the cracks are going to be.

I also did the flames on the Fireborn 3 and dry-brushed plus first coat on the base of Fireborn 2

 

@Sudsinabucket @Warden @Explodingzeb any advice on the Mordant Earth usage?

 

Repainted #3 black areas so that I can do the dry brushing and started basing on #2 and 3.

 

Okay, so update, this is Fireborn #2, 3 and now started 4.



Fireborn #2 I experimented with not doing PVA. Made a different effect. I'm not a massive fan so I have to find the middle ground.



Fireborn #3, rewatched the videos on the lava effect and I'm much happier with this guy's base pre-Mordant Earth and PVA



And #4 started! Painfully slow progress (and kinda frustratingly so) but I'm moving ahead

 

Seems like lightening fast progress by my standards! Keep going buddy!

 

It makes me so happy to see you paint these (and in general to see that you picked up the brush again ) and your progress is great

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Danke val, meneer!!!

I'm super-surprised constantly by how things are turning out. Thank heavens for YouTube instruction videos!!!!

And now, Fireborn #4, 5 and 6 with first undercoat



And PVA on base of #3

 

This base looks so cool already! you have done the lava in a great way.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

So on attempt three I have one that I really like, so I'll try to duplicate this for the others.



Here are Fireborn #1, 2 and 3!



And the next three with a double coat of white, ready to be ignited.

 

That cracked lava looks amazing! These are some great models, they remind me a bit of Calamity Ganon, which just makes your paint job on them so much better! Brilliant work on these!

 

Very nice. I agree, that is the best one. You have brought glory to Hashut.

 

That third one is a very realistic effect. Good luck with the next 3

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thanks guys! The forumites feedback definitely helps keep the momentum up on this. Doing the white undercoats is tedious and BORING AS FUDGE.

Praise be to the Father of Darkness!
