finishes his Temple project by painting the kit he previously assembled.
Beginnings, NMM Colors, Recipes
I've been painting this mini for a few days, and I confess I wasn't aware how time-consuming such a big and detailed model can be. So far, it's been some 13-15 hours and going....
The Barrel:
- Bronzed Fleshtone (base)
- Smoke (wash)
- black ink (I applied it to the recesses betwen the planks)
- Bronzed Fleshtone + White (brushed with the side of a brush to highlight the wood)
I painted the handle of the knife - I had a concept, but left the rest unpainted because I hadn't decided about the general color scheme yet.
The Chainmail:
- black ink (applied to the recesses - dries slower than regular paint, but is better suited for this kind of details)
- Intermediate Blue (base - every link of the chainmail was defined)
- Ghost Grey + Intermediate Blue (more Ghost Grey - the first highlight)
- White (extreme highlights)
- Smoke (applied to some parts as rust)
The Axe's Blade (Silver NMM):
- Intermediate Blue (base)
- Ghost Grey + Intermediate Blue (first highlight)
- Ghost Grey (second highlight)
- Ghost Grey + White (third highlight)
- Ghost Grey + Smoke (shading)
- White (extreme highlights)
The Axe's Blade (Gold NMM):
- Cobra Leather (base)
- black ink (applied to the recesses)
- Cobra Leather + White (highlighting up to white)
And now he looks like this:
