To NMM, or NOT to NMM

[DaN]

That, is the question.
Whether \'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows or outrageous misfortune, or... The possibility of cocking up a really nice mini

Just started on the base first.

DaN, I think you should try NMM - that ork was so well done, how could you screw up this one? And, if you make mistakes, heavy weathering is an option

 

[Larre]

I say NMM aswell, though I wouldn\'t go with senmm as you did on your Ork... and make it muddy, would be cool

 

[DaN]

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your L337 N1NJ4 5k1LL5!

Hmm... I was dreading that answer...

Alas poor DaN, I knew his forgeworld Ork Pilot well, and then it alllll went downhill...

I want to go against the norm here and say metallics. Mainly because I feel that some really dark and dirty metallics would look awesome on this mini.

 

[Dragonsreach]

Paint as you will, and apologise to none.

Metallics but using some NMM techniques is the way to go I think. Something I was playing around at before I lost my ability to pick up a paint brush and you can definately get some interesting effects. Think this model would suit it.

 

[DaN]

Still cant decide...

I think the NMM look better, but can\'t really tell on something so small... GAH!:flame:

For that, and forgetting I\'d already given you the link to Antenociti\'s Workshop earlier in your substaion thread, I say go with painting it in the style of Picasso.

 

[DaN]

I\'d say that\'s a given already RB

I\'m pretty new on the forums, just started posting with my account today, but I agree with Dragonsreach. The only thing that I would add is this: Whatever you decide push your skills and be sure to learn something new while you’re at it. Oh, and have fun.

 

[DaN]

WTF?

 

[darklord]

i think that was a motivational speech Dan!!
welcome to the boards tokenartguy

p.s. dirty metallics for me

 

[TokenArtGuy]

Yeah, sorry about that. I should look at the dates of the posts better... then after I posted I found a WIP of the finished model. I\'m a little embarrassed.

By the way, the model looks great finished. I like the color choices and the NMM is done really nice and clean.

-How\'s that?

 

[DaN]

lol No worries buddy - just made me wonder when I saw it back at the top of the boards

Thanks for the comments regardless
I think I already welcomed you on another, less-embarrassing thread lol

I\'m not generally a fan of nmm but in this case I would use it. Or you could do what I did on my last mini. Paint it in nmm fairly crudely, getting the main highlights in place and do a thin metalic wash over the top. Worked pretty good. Look at the sword blade on the I\'m coming with you WIP.

 

[Roger Bunting]

Oh, Liz, Lizzy, Lizcam, he\'s finished that model already.

 

[lizcam]

I live in my own little world and missed that part! Poop on you!

Think about what you are most comfortable with and then do the opposite. Consider each model a learning experience and make an effort to challenge yourself with each new project.
