Hey Romain, what do you think about wet-blending? It seems like a good technique for large surfaces with the same colour. For example, you could blend the top of the wings to the bottom from red to black in the base coat quite easily without doing multiple overlays.
And, no, I don’t think about the contents of a 40k codpiece much. But knowing GW they’d be quite overblown… pun-intended?
What a coincidence… I just filmed a “fresh paint technique” tutorial this morning !
Thanks for your keen interest in non-codpiece related matters, namely my tutorials. 🙂
I have been lately a convert to a bright undercoat. Especially for colours like red. It is so much easier to keep it bright and keep it even on bright surfaces. I am also using paints that are far more watered down and applying layers. Takes a bit more time but gives even finishes. Also far less detail is lost in the model when done this way.
These are but a few tips that I have picked up in these tutorials.
Also looking forward to the “fresh paint technique” tutorial
Thanks a lot for the compliments… It is an honor to teach, and a pleasure to know I have done my job well (enough) !
Ideally, no detail should be lost on a miniature… and there are ways to add some if there aren’t enough ! 😉
You should do The Sanguinor as it is a beautiful miniature and is the polar opposite of Astorath
