My return to GW games.

Hey look that rhymed 😛

Okay dumb moments aside was I going to change my plan? Well I knew it could be done and the whole point of this was to challenge myself with a new way to paint something so I went shopping. I’m not one that would normally advocate for buying a new paint just to try something if you have an another option on hand but the problem there was the only brass I had was a speedpaint and I wasn’t going to make that mistake a second time. And so I decided I was going to a local store to pick up a copy of one of the literal colours that the video used, the Monument Pro Acryll Brass I was not howeevr picking up the lighter colour by green stuff world because no longer buy anything that company sells. (this isnt the place for me to explain why but youre welcome to ask in the comments. So instead I picked up the Light Bronze and then I also give into temptation with some brushes and a 3rd colour (that I am yet to use)

You know how some people sometimes hear so many people talking about how great a product is that they become convinced theyre all being paid to say it, yeah well I know way too much about that mindset, I really wish Id tried some of these paints earlier as theyre amazing, though theyre also very expensive here in Australia (unsure about elsewhere). But I wont lie, the moment I started seeing the results I didn’t want to stop.

Now I kept this drybrush somewhat random and heavier in some places than others, trying to simulate the wear being uneven, I suspect if you wanted to you could truly go to town with this, the dry brush on a flatter surface obviously ends up looking like an over brush so you need to be more careful, I have to be honest the cannon is the lesser of the two. But this is the day I didn’t stop, I painted for like 5 to 6 hours without break for the first time in years I was locked in and honestly I havent been as happy as I am with a project in a long time.. Its actually a finished project as well.

Could I do some more highlights, damn right i could I could highlight some of the bronze as well but for now I am calling this finished they look better than I hoped for and I guess now I could show them off..

So thats it right?  Right?

Well i have more pictures to share but I also want to share my super professional and not me hacking away at foam solution to travel with them on the motorbike to share next time
