Draconis: Spring Clean 2024 and onward
We can rebuild them….
29th April 2024
Another weekend with little progress – but luckily I did get some work done in the evenings at the end of last week.
With the Madboyz stripped back and washed I then went ahead and cleaned up a lot (likely not all….Tim) of the mould lines. Then I sorted out some bases. I did debate putting them on 30mm round lipped bases, but in the end I stuck with the old skool vibe and sorted out some fresh 25mm rounds for them.
Next up it was finding suitable arms for them. I went through a process of trying out arms to see how they would work with the different torsos and angles, and eventually found pairings that worked, for most. A few I’m not super happy with, but just didn’t have enough suitable arms to do the job.
Then it was some gap filling. I always seem to think I can do this better than I can 😊 As well as the arm joints where needed I also filled the gaps in the slottas, to ensure that the base tabs were held securely in place. Followed by basing with sand/gravel and priming. Went for black with a zenithal overspray of wraithbone (thinking it would be warmer for the green skin tones)
The Zenithal was ok, but I felt that I needed to drybrush in some ivory onto some of the shirts and undersides of arms, so it has become a bit of an underpainting instead.
Finally I started to lay down some colour. They haven’t got very far along, but slow progress is still progress….
