Blog Return of the Ancient Painter: Troggoths added

Here ya go,

 

It's an Ogre brute, he originally had a mace but I converted to a sword as it just felt right.

Got a night goblin hot air balloon 60% done which I started in the 80ies!

 

Yes I'm on with it now along with this,

 

I have around 200 models to paint so I need to keep busy......

 

@Caprasauridae added a bit more to the skink head dress,

 

The balloon is made from milliput (no green stuff back then) formed over a light bulb when still wet I folded florist wirs over the shape, then when dry I smashed and removed the bulb, holding it up is a piece of piano wire (first pic far right rope) which is incredibly strong for it's size, it is drilled into a metal plate which is under the polyfiller.

 

With great care, it was a very slow job of using a very thin screw driver and flicking out the glass, once out I resculpted the bottom.

 

Ok guys bit more done on bassy,






As always comments welcome.

 

Cheers guys but im not sure looking at it again, the transition of colour isn't dramatic enough for me, I think it needs lighter highlights.

This model is an experiment with just dry brushing the base coat, I started with red, orange, yellow base and then washed it all with agrax earthshade then dry brushed all the scales red, orange, yellow but in the opposite position to the base and then screaming skull and white scar all over, heavier at the edges followed by a yellow glaze, not sure it's worked.

 

@Caprasauridae

Think your right, again!

I will do more on him Monday, just watched a superman cartoon and the explosions had the effect im trying to achieve so hopefully will be able to mimick it.
