Dreadball Spring Clean Hobby Challenge 2022
Kalyashi Red (3/4/22)
I was away all weekend and busy most of the week so I got very little painting done last week. Only two evenings. In two hours on Monday I put down the first base colour on the red here. On Thursday in 2 hours I put down a second coat and a shade wash. Very little work was done, but progress was made. I’ve 3 evenings and the weekend free next week, so I hope to finish them then, and if I feel like it and have time, I might base and put transfers on everything I’ve finished and get them varnished. I can put some stuff away them and really see a difference in my work pile / in and out trays.
Base: VGC 72.012 Scarlet Red
Wash: VMC 70.859 Black Red with just enough black added to tint it, mixed with 3-4 drops of water and 3-4 drops of GW Lahmium Medium
I’m writing this from the future so I can tell you what I did next to finish this off, and show you those pics at my next weekly update:
Highlight 1: thinned VGC 72.106 Scarlett Blood (please note, it’s Vallejo that changes the way they spell Scarlet(t) between these paints, not me), brushed on.
Highlight 2: Drybrush of GW Wild Rider Red, only on the high points and edges it was safe to get to. Accidents were made.
Two Kalyashi and their Star Player captain. The red is based and washed and awaiting highlights.
