CRISIS, WHAT CRISIS! PT 2

Whilst i am excited to get started on Thanos i want to give a little more attention to this model than i normally do.

Anyone who has followed any of my previous projects will know that i prefer a speed syle over finesse which is fine for me normally but for a character of Thanos’s station, who i hope will be a real centrepiece i want to try to put in a little extra effort.

Also i want to be able to use him both with and without the Infinity Gauntlet so i magnetised the arm and both hand options.

Now, even though the colour scheme is a quite simple (Blue and Gold) i think my usual block and drybrysh may be a little rough as the dry brush could end up looking to obvious on the large, flatter areas.

Also im not a fan of painting gold over large areas as it can end up looking quite rough which doesnt reslly fit the character.

Thankfully due to a mix up buying some primers a while ago i do have a can of Retributor Armour laying about and due to a Covid enforeced lack of primers in the house i was forced to use it on a Reichbuster model and actually it gives a reall good finish. So, with that in mind i decided to prime with that and work out the blue.

This brings me to my test model. Ive dug out a WWX Hex Beast as its predominantly a clothless model which has a lot of surface i can practice colour schemes on, i shall name him Dave.

So i primed Dave up and got to testing.

So after various blues, drybrushes and inkwashes i decided on a Crystal blue base with a Voidshield Blue dtybrush then a brainmatter biege drybrush followed by two coats of a 50/50 blue tone / medium mix.

Also i did a little test for the purple skin using a purple tone over stone golem and was very pleased with the result so have decided to go with that too. Thanks Dave!

Finally the Gauntlet!

And he is done, really pleased with how he turned out. Its all down to Dave!!
