Managed to slap some paint on this badboy in between my furious week of scraping and gluing. I wanted to get something painted as I had quite a mound of assembled models piling up at the side of my desk.
He was pretty straight forward to paint. Mainly washes and drybrushing to achieve the desired effects. Unfortunately it was during the painting stage I realised what a horrible cast this model was. I tried to remove as many mould lines and defects as I could before painting, but it seems that applying the paint seemed to highlight even more. Oh well too late by then. Fortunately the washes hide most of it from view :) .
Overall the paint job looks pretty good, although I could have added more highlights to the power cables to make them pop a bit more. They look a little too flat even with washes applied. I am not too happy with the white skulls, and have changed it for the next one I am in the process of painting to a bone colour. My favourite part is definitely the face of the iron priest. I am really happy with the blending on the flesh, and feel it adds a nice focal point to what could otherwise be a slightly plain model. Also I absolutely love painting fur, so the thunderwolf was a real joy to paint. What do you all think of the finished model? Does the new background take away from the paint job or does it help? Trying a new way of photographing, so you comments and feedback would be much appreciated :)
NafNaf out!
