Hashmallum\'s WIPs

[electrolito 77]

Great! Thanks for confirming that. Now did you use some kind of airbrush medium or was it just watered down? I might try it with my Deathwing Land Raider and some of my terminators see how they come out. Thanks again and keep up the quality stuff Hash.

use a 1-1 water-paint ratio with the foundation paints mate, they work a treat.

 

[hashmallum]

Try to add some water + Vallejo Glaze medium

 

[electrolito 77]

Thanks for the tip. I usually use my Airbrush for terrain and stuff but never have used it for anything else. Those foundation paints sure sound good too. Might have to spend more money now... :flame:

for the nmm gold on the termies is it the same as thousands son u painted?

 

[hashmallum]

Yeah, it\'s the same, just change the proportions for the base- less black, more snakebite

 

[freakinacage]

dude, whats the deal-i-o with the citadel foundation paints? i assumed (wrongly) that they were oldies that i hadn\'t heard of but they\'re new aren\'t they? what are they like? are they just plain paints/washes/basecoats?

 

[hashmallum]

Preparing an article about it will post soon

 

[hashmallum]

Since I started to paint the TS sergeant and I have my camera with me all the time, I decided to prepare a short WIP.tuorial thread

Let\'s start!

First of all we need to clean the mini of all the mouldlines + excessive flash. After we do this, we prime the mini black.

It looks like this

Now we start to highlight the armour:

The colours I used

Vallejo Game Colour Imperial Blue (Regal Blue) - base
Vallejo Game Colour Magic Blue (enchanted blue) - 1st highlight
Vallejo Game Colour Electric Blue - 2nd highlight

Colour transitions should look like this

Blue base:

I blended the armour in 6 wet layers, after highlighting it should look like this :

Now let\'s paint the cloak .

For the base I have used Vallejo Game Colour Wolf Grey (space wolf grey) - it gives a nice smooth base for bright colours.

Now we apply a base coat of Vallejo Model Colour Iraqui Sand - I think it\'s a good colour for a cloth base - It gives a smooth effect and a small contrast when highlighted up to white. The base looks like this:

I have highlighted Iraqui sand first with Bonewhite (bleached bone) and then with white.

Colour transitions again:

After higlighting: (Remember to highlight the edges and the side of the cloak! ):

All for now, hopefully will update this thread tomorrow

Yep thats the basic concept for producing subtle shades on a mini

Ok today\'s work

Here\'s my workshop

Today we\'ll deal with gold nmm.

We\'ll need.

1. Black
2. Snakebite Leather
3. White
4. Some patience
5. A tad of imagination

Colour transitions will look like this:

While painting nmm, we have to take a lightsource. I chose a point that will light the right side of the mini.
We\'ll deal with the front today.

Ok - first of all we need to mix snakebite + a tad of black to get a greenish colour.

The basecoat:

It\'s better to prepare some more of this mix - so that it won\'t dry up too fast

I\'m using a wet palette - paints don\'t dry up on it, and if you\'ll prepare the palette correctly you can use the same paints the day after

Plastic container, a piece of a flat sponge, and some baking paper - white, not bown.

Ok, back to the mini.

After we apply the base, I highlighted the helmet up to pure snakebite remembering about the lightsource.

I have highlighted the right side of the helmet - leaving the left darker.

After highlighting up to pure snakebite - I started adding white.
At the end we paint BLEAKS, (spots where the light would reflect on the metal )

Additionaly I have highlighted the sides of the helmet + the upper part..

I used the same techinique to highlight the right shoulderpad.


A fully highlighted helmet looks like this:

Now I have painted two pads decorating the helmet.

Next was the second shoulderpad

The belt - basecoat.

The light reflects more on the right side -so it\'s more highlighted (the left one is darker).

Left side was carefully highlighted in just some spots, (up to pure white) to give a reflective look.

The last nmm elements left - the pendant below the scroll tubes, and they eye symbol on his chest

This is all nmm for today

I started to paint the helmet\'s decorations as the last thing today... Applied pure Iraqui Sand - was to tired to paint anything else

Some more pics tomorrow -hopefully will even finish him

Hi Hash,

first off i want to say that your threads are always very interesting and informative, im not really a big fan of NMM but your style is the exception to the rule, in fact i have often thought about asking you for a tutorial on it just so i can give it a try.... and low and behold you beat me to it, so thanks for that :beer:

looking forward to seeing how this one turns out as i have always liked this perticluar mini, keep up the good work mate and the cool threads
