Of Displays and Disappointment
Some storm induced progress
As the storm moved over i made some progress, trialing some colours and approaches for the main paint.
I had some misprints that I thought I would attempt to correct and add some colours to for the backdrop pieces. Tried a black undercoat, thought it might be better, but it wasn’t. Unsurprisingly, to some perhaps, but it ended up being a real pain with the surfaces of these FDM prints having a very rough and uneven texture. It was definitely evident, especially with these two metallic bases, that the grey was substantially more forgiving than the dark shadows left by the black primer.
Nothing neat, just wanted to slap some paint on so I get an idea of what these look like with a bit of colour from behind the acrylic. I think I’ll have to keep it fairly bright to avoid it becoming a bit gloomy, after a nice display for the models; after all, Dark Angels are gloomy enough already. Possibly, some LEDs will be needed to stop the floor panels from blocking out all the light or maybe a floor rework of some kind.
Progress made, Project continues
