Inquisitor66 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 This weeks special challenge is one of technique. Try and use a painting technique that you don't feel confident with. Use that airbrush you aren't skilled with, try some edge highlights or shading or freehand a cool symbol onto a cloak. Maybe do a mud effect on th he base. Post a picture of your attempt and what you were practicing, the model does not have to be done. As long as it shows off your chosen technique. Also feel encouraged to offer practical advice if you excel at something that a person is struggling with. Happy lobbying and forget to post a list of everything you h as very completed over the course of this challenge!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 The SLHG Pattern Assault Ram is one of the silliest weapons in WH40k (which is saying something) but I’m really happy with how my paint job turned out: “Suspect appears to be some form of Ork. Lethal force has been authorized.” 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 I took a stab at this week's special challenge today: Liquid Mask Weathering. It's a cousin of salt and hairspray weathering. The idea behind the technique is you apply a basecoat that mimics primer, then stipple it with rust colors. Once those are dry, you sponge on liquid mask here and there and let it dry. Then you airbrush your presentation colors on top of all that. When the top coat of paint has dried enough, you rub off the dried liquid mask exposing the "crud" underneath. I wanted to model the idea that my orks grabbed a blue hood off the scrap pile, cuz blue is lucky. I had hoped that the Hull Red I chose as a base (simulated primer) color would contrast enough with the rest of the red body, but... meh. Can't see the orange I stippled on as rust very well either... also, meh. If I were to do it again, I'm not sure how I'd handle the "primer" color. If I went with a cool light grey instead of the reddish brown, I worry it wouldn't contrast enough with the light blue I wanted to use for the top coat; any other color wouldn't be convincing as primer... meh. One thing's for sure, I'd keep the weathering more to the edges of the hood, avoiding big blobs in the center (like on the left hand side of the hood in the pic below). Overall it turned out ok, but I'm a bit disappointed. Hopefully it'll look better when the rest of the buggy is weathered. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 I think it looks pretty dang good... But if you want to experiment with the technique some more, can I suggest Gaslands? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Great progress, @Ish. I definitely bit off more than I can chew this week 😞 Stoooopid teleconferencing software. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely bit off more than I can chew this week 😞 Stoooopid teleconferencing software. My primary employer seems to have ghosted me. Last Friday, they said they’d call on Monday to let me know if there was still work... as of right now, a full seven days and one hour later, they haven’t called or responded to my e-mails. It’s really opened up my hobby time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Wanted to have a better backdrop for photographing my miniatures. Threw this together in an afternoon: Palanite Enforcers versus Poxwalker mob: “Return to you Hab-Blocks or we will be forced to social distance you with extreme prejudice!” And here’s a couple shots using Marvel: Crisis Protocol figs. There’s a definite grimdark aesthetic to the design, but I think it’s generic enough to work for a modern-ish setting too: Edited April 18, 2020 by Ish 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) I got the Squigbuggy done. I love this kit, there is so much going on... there are little stories all over it. Also managed to get the weekly challenge done. No progress on the IF Lieutenant though, so he'll get full attention next week.
