Guest Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 So I've got this running gag with my marines, that I'm painting them as gingers with bright red hair. Nothing against gingers, but more poking fun at sci-fi. The idea is that something like less than 5% of the world population is ginger, so having the super humans of the far future all be ginger is a bit humorous, I think. Aside from that, I like painting red.... Anyway, how to do freckles on 28mm models? Should I even bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Splatter spray. Pull the bristles back on your brush with your finger. Like doing blood effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 How'd it turn out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoobert Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I turned my airbrush down to like 10psi and that makes a pleasant (and very fine) splatter effect. It can be used for a "dusting of snow", a speckledy camo, or ...I suppose...freckles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 How'd it turn out? Still haven't "found" the right brush for it. Faces aren't done enough for freckles anyway. I'm doing that thing where rather than painting one model at a time, I'm trying to paint the entire army at once...Not always the best plan. Though on subject with things I'm painting, need to work on my free hand for this guy: And this guy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
