Stage 7



I must say I'm getting lazy, this would have been done about an hour ago, but I got ont eh computer and surfed.. Well, the leather is a mix of Black Brown #822 and USA Tan-Earth #874. I hate when there's tiny litle details on leather like that.. comes out looking weird, maybe a little of the darker mix would help. I also used some watered down Red #947 (tell me, who makes two colors with the exact same name but different shade? Vallejo.) to saturate the bolter more.. And if you notice, I messed with the pipes every now and then, I think this is the best it gets, so I stop them now. I think Gold NMM bits will be next.

Speaking of NMM, Unc from Confrontation forums wants to know how long the armor took. I think about 4 hours total , but durng this whole thing I can't paint for more than around 2 without needing a break. He also wants to know how much I hin my paints.. I usually add one drop of mixed flow aid to bottles now to keep them smoother, but I usually only add one drop of slow dri to a mix of a small glob of paint.. maybe 6 drops. I thin paint to the consistancy of milk for things like skin, because it needs the layers.
