Reply To: What Are You Painting Now?

[lawnor 25939xp 4]

Imperial Agent Crane Rank is all finished, and that’s the last of the Infinity I own all painted.  This is the sculpt that came free with Angel Giraldez Masterclass Vol 2 so I tried to follow his guide with some success.  I quite like the way the orange came out, and the turquoise is a nice colour.  That guide definitely felt like an afterthought for the book when it could have been a focus.  Half a page for the whole model, when he was devoting a page or two to a single colour for the rest of the book.  He skipped stages I felt could really have done with expanding upon, like the highlighting of the black with white.  Mine was a bit of a mess, but the varnish seems to have made most of it vanish somehow.

The base was made  by gluing down a length of sprue intended as curb,and them poly filler was applied as concrete with paving slab lines carved in to it.  This was my first time working with filler like this and I would do things differently if I did this again.

I tried to paint it following last months AssetDrop concrete formula, however I didn’t read it until after I had assembled the model and painted everything.  The guide requires a lot of sponge work and comes with a sponge larger than the mini!  I tore off some and used a pair of tweezers as best as I could.
