A WIP Thread by Fluisterwoud

Here is the product site, I posted an Amazon link further up the page, but I don't know how it works if you're in Canada ordering from the US site. You can get it on ebay, just search for "easy cast resin" I found it on both the US and Canadian version of ebay.

Thanks Flu, one day I got to try that.

I love the water base Flu it looks awesome .
With the yellow marine I think you need to paint the whole figure that way to see if it's going to work or not , I like it but the whole thing done like that May or may not work .

Had a long weekend with very little time to paint, but I did get a little more color on the marine.

... I did a test last night with a single drop of food coloring in the resin to see how that would work...

Hey Fluister, just wanted to warn you about using alimentary colour... I think it would probably fade out/change its colour if the sunlight hits it, take care as they are usually not meant to stand light for a very prolonged time.

 

[fluisterwoud]

Hmm, I did not know that. My minis rarely, if ever, get direct sunlight but it's still good to know. And since that block was just a test piece, I'll throw it on the windowsill and check in on it the next few weeks to see how it's doing

Liking the look of that battle damage. I think that yellow's looking more yellow now, but if you really wanted to make sure it doesn't come across as gold, maybe a subtler highlight would help? The small, sharp white highlight makes it read as a metallic surface to me.

 

[fluisterwoud]

Yeah I'll see if I can tone down the highlights. I'm going to start working on other parts of the marine and come back to the armor.

I put some base coats on Kaernus:

A little more skin work

As mentioned earlier in the thread, my girlfriend's little sister loves Doctor Who and has a birthday this weekend. I already painted her a Tardis, and my gf bought a chibi pony modeled as the Matt Smith Doctor at Adepticon. I was told to paint this as well. Here it is about 90% done.

I've also been working on the Imperial Fits' base

More baseness

 

[Gandalf the Grey]

Taking shape nicely. Individual bricks working nicely

 

[fluisterwoud]

Thanks, it's mostly done now. Just need to paint the skull and clean up some spots.

I've uploaded my Ogre squad from the Crystal Brush into my gallery. http://www.coolminiornot.com/377246

You can see a lot more depth in the skin in your pictures. Great job.

 

[Teronus]

I like the brick base, nice job flu.

 

[BloodASmedium]

so far really good stuff if I may suggest something the gold marine I think is falling short from yellow for two reasons in my perspective 1you sholdve started with a bright colored yellow as a brownyellow is a gold color attribute also A brighter colored yellow shaded with a red brown like dark flesh really gives a. BRight yellow A nice depth and looks great when further highlighted... example I used an averland sunset base, dark flesh a d reapplied the averLand then yriel yellow.

 

[fluisterwoud]

BAM, you're exactly right. I always go dark to light and I can now see that is not the way to go with yellow. This guy was meant as a learning experience and that's exactly what I got. Next time I'll approach yellow the way you've laid it out.

 

[BloodASmedium]

Yeah Def bud you can Def still try something to salvage keep painting it the way your doing and at the end I was thinking just trow on some yellow glazes....this way you can keep going the way your going because honestly gold /yellow whatever I really like the technical aspect of it.....I feel it's still a nicely painted model...no doubt Bud.

Here is some work from today:

100% agree. I am feeling guilty now, for voting less points for them than I should.
