Best laid plans and all that…

While starting this project has indeed refocused my hobby efforts, work and SWR did their best to derail it. On those evenings where I had spare time (and brain power) I have made progress on the butcher.

Over the week he has progress from…

Through the next set of base layers…

And through a number of steps that I didn’t remember to record (including the mistake of trying metalics on the weapons) to how he currently stands.

I am not sure about the lanterns yet but with a few touch ups they will be at a point where I can leave them and revisit then at a later date.

For the Black armor I am trying a non metallic metal (with a paint brush) to give it more depth than a flat black. To a lesser extent I am using the same technique to add texture to the lanterns.

The rest of the model has been painted with a basecoat, wash, (optional) drybrush and final highlight. My go to method. I did try using a gunmetal metallic on the cleaver and saw. However it looked so out of place after the first coat that I immediately changed to another style of weapon painting.

Now I just need to finish the general touch ups, varnish the painted areas and then I can start on the hands and main weapons.

Quite a different scheme than I’ve seen elsewhere for this model, very original. I do like the slightly brighter feel here.
