Holding out for a hero

Rambo is all done…..I’ve used mostly Speed paints with added highlights using regular acrylic. The priming stage was Colourforge Raven Black followed by airbrushing white to get the zenith from above. Once it’s all dry I dilute 1 part Army painter Dark Tone To 5 parts Pro Acryl glaze and wash ( it’s like it turns any paint to behave like a speedpaint) which puts all the subtle shading back the white covers, this also tints the mini slightly and gives good outlining. Once dry a light drybush of pure white lifts the detail. This is my preferred method and gives nice results as shown below with a few examples.

Arnie as Terminator up next.

I picked out some Speedpaints following a quick look at some movie footage to get a good look at the actual colours.  Stage 1 colouring in with the Base Colours.
Stage 2. Highlighting mostly with Daler Rowney FW ink mixed with the chosen colour

Grimm Black for the weapons

Black Legion (Contrast Paint) for the jacket, gloves, glasses and boots.

Occultist Cloak for the pants with a thinned layer 3:1 of speedpaint medium to Camo Cloak to over top to tint green.

Sachel Brown for the Hair.

Peachy Flesh for the skin
