PumpkinHead Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 So I said I would try and keep people up to date on the making of Slammy G. A big thanks to @WestRider for the hammers and @Shikome for the wings. I have the pieces, now to start the painting and assembly. I started painting big Slammy G on the sprue because I thought it might help get me to some of the harder to reach spots. I am also trying to figure out Apothecary White (contrast) on the shield. I don't like how it looks, but not sure how to get it more white. I have a mixing ball in the paint and have shaken it a good long time. More to figure out there. I just noticed I have forgotten the jump pack, so I will have to go cut one off a sanguinary guard sprue, AND pictures like I said I would... PS... I mostly wrote this post to disprove the haters.... 😛 @VonVilkee https://imgur.com/a/bbPyKIL 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like how it looks, but not sure how to get it more white. Apothecary White isn’t actually a white paint, it’s more like a grey wash. What I find works best is to spray prime with Wraithbone White (or Corax White if you want a really bright white), two thin coats of Apothecary White with ample drying time between coats, then a bit of clean up with a white layer paint of choice on the flat surfaces. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Looks like I will need to go get a white paint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How glossy you looking to go? I really like super matte scale color paints (scale 75) but monument is out of Arizona and built the brand on white paint. Bought a bottle haven't used it yet... https://monumenthobbies.com/ https://scale75usa.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
