Making a force sword in 0.2 seconds (beginner and bored only)

[Tony Manero]

First of all, we start to choose a base colour, for example Regal Blue.

Water it pretty much till is 80/20 water/colour.
Pass it on all the blade

Now, when the colour is still liquid, choose a final colour, for example Skull White, water down it a little and pass it roughly on the edge of the blade. Let rest a second the mixing and see how the colours combine themselves

now take a small amount of almost unwatered Skull White and make small dots on the very edge, mixing the borders of the dots with circular movements...

Let the colours dry... tadaaan you have a cool force sword without the boring lightnings....

[Tony Manero]

[Ogrebane]

All things in there own time. And I think its time for another beer.
Seriously its worth the time your taking on it for what you are producing. Is this army your own or a commission. I cant remember it was too many posts ago

 

[Tony Manero]

time for another beer

 

[freakinacage]

nice one! yet one more thing to try....

Here\'s a watercolor trick. Using a light background, water down a color and put it on. Then lightly sprinkle the area with a touch of salt. In an hour or so check out the result. PSYCHEDELIC....

ima try that rl shawn. I think that doing what Tony suggested in section letting it dry then doing another part would be good.

 

[Godlikebuthumble]

Cool beans! I just might try that on my marines just for shits and giggles... especially that salt bit...

 

[Shawn R. L.]

The salt trick works great on paper. I\'m not sure how good it would work on something as small as a mini. Never tried it.

AWESOME, haha, soo simple yet so cool,

thanks tony

Tried the force sword thing on a base that represents water. Worked perfect. After 3 coats of fake water and it took 2 mins tops. Now I will have to try the salt trick.
