So I just recently started repainting my HQ collection. I posted a few pictures before of what I thought was a good or okay paint job in the gallery. Oh I was wrong. I've been trying out new techniques and my have finally found my style of painting (depending on what figure I'm painting at the time of course). So I thought I would post what I have done and a list of what paints I used.
Skeletons.JPG
For this set of Skeletons I used the following paints.
-The Skeleton
Base coat of Tamiya Flat Brown
Dry Brush of Reaper MSP Dirty Bone
A Wash of Army Painters Quickshade Strong Tone mixed with Tamiya Clear Yellow
Then I highlighted the bones with a thinned done layer of Reaper MSP Dirty Bone
-The Scythe
The shaft has a base coat of Tamiya Desert Yellow
The a few lines of Tamiya Hull Red
And a wash of Army Painters Quickshade Strong Tone
(Not 100% set on the way this looks but it will do for now)
- The Scythe Blade
Has a base coat of VMC Gunmetal Gray
A highlight layer of Reaper MSP Polished Silver
A second highlight of VMC Silver
And a wash of Army Painters Quickshade Strong Tone
- The base
Base coat is Tamiya Medium Gray
With the lines painted in Tamiya German Gray
A wash of Army Painters Quickshade Strong Tone
And Tamiya Flat black around the edge of the base
- Seal coat with a matte finish.
On a side note, working with the Tamiya brand paint can be hard. The paint drys way to fast some times and thinning it with water does not work well. So to solve this problem I thinned it with an 2:1 mix of paint and Liquitex Flow-Aid. The flow-aid slowed the dry time and made the already smooth paint flow even better.
As I finish more I'll post them.
