Bot War - C.O.I.L.S Vengeance
Day 25 - Conspiracy (pt.3)
How it startedStill very much a work in progress, I was able to get the Anthracite basecoat down to finish off the main primer cover up.
Once dry I used P3 Armour Wash to give everything a shade of dark blue grey. I tried to move this around once aploed to stop it pooling, using a dry brush to absorb any pools, and a wet brush to help smooth it out and push into recesses.
After this was dry I added some Vallejo mecha blue grey to Anthracite and the nned it out into a glaze. This was then applied to all armour pieces, pushing the glaze to create lighter areas, stippling it on to create interest on flat edges, and using it to create some contrast.
This was then glazed back again with pure Anthracite to soften the look.
Its coming along, slowly, and I have much more still to do…..
- Re-layer the grey under amour
- Re-layer base rim
- Highlight under-armour
- Highlight main armour
- Highlight metals
- Pinacle edge highlights
- Black line panels and recesses
- Block in spot colours with white
- Appy magenta and turquoise inks to spot areas
4 days to get that lot done
How it ended
That is really cool
This might upset some people but I think he looks better without the head.
With a name like that, you could make it work by replacing it with a tin foil hat perhaps…
This project is an utter joy to catch up with every now and then. Thank you for sharing your awesome hobby work!
