Thanks folks.

The process is pretty straightforward, a base of midtone (in this case screamer pink) 2 thin coats. Then start shading the recesses with successive layers of very thin shade tones (Screamer pink, some Scale 75 violet) brush in the highlight then quickly wash the brush and wash the edge with the clean brush to remove any watermark etc.

Continue this process and i added some flat black to the shade layer and brought the shading line down to just the very bottom of the recesses.

I then painted the random line pattern on the cape (as its supposed to be random as Tzeentch would like, i didnt use a pattern but had a think about it first!) then i re did the shading process again over the lines i painted to bring it back into the coat rather than seem like something on top.

Its very important to let each glaze dry fully before the next, i use a hairdryer to speed up the process.

Change of design a bit with the scale flooring idea, so i had t make dozens of tiny squares out of clay and then lay them onto a base board. It needs trimming as its too wide as would just be loads of empty floor and the focus needs to be on the models, so i need to sand the tops more evenly then paint it chequer pattern (cos i have time for this 0_o).

Also making good progress on the DC\Marvel stuff to have on my sale stand and almost finished Infinity Tariq character, who will also be for sale.

Bit of a mad fortnight, with convention stand requiring stock, Golden Demon, and a magazine article tutorial, starting to get a twitch...

Con work, 70mm scale stuff, either all new or reworked (barbarian):

Hopefully get a good grip on it and have friday for GD work, then entire week after this weekend is all GD, all the time.

Only one entry but may re work a single figure i have that just needs a push to be worth taking it to be within consideration i hope.
