Dan's 2025 Side Projects
Stone golem
This model was painted up for the current painting competition.
I wanted to have another go at painting marble. I had a look online to see what sorts of marble you can get, and to be honest it looks like you can have almost one colour with any other colour streaked through it.
Step by step pictures below.
- Screamer pink lines painted over a pallid wych flesh base coat.
- A screamer pink wash was applied over the previous lines. I’m not sure this and the next few steps were worth doing.
- The entire model is washed in pallid wych flesh.
- A second wash of pallid wych flesh is applied.
- The screamer pink lines are re-applied. At this point it almost looks like step one again.
- This time, I mix screamer pink with pallid wych flesh to make the wash. A second wash, with more pallid wych flesh mixed in, is applied further out from the screamer pink lines.
- Re-apply the screamer pink lines, yet again…
- Paint the entire model with apothecary white.
- Apply edge highlights of pallid wych flesh.
The model is then finished with ardcoat gloss applied over all the stone. The metal areas were painted screaming bell, washed reikland fleshshade, then highlighted sycorax bronze.
