About the Project

Another Hobby Challenge is here and what a good one it is. SPACE HULK!! so with only 6 weeks and not much money in my pocket I was strongly considering not having a go at this project but come on its space hulk I just cant so I want to make something simple. my plan at the start is to 3D print some corridors (I have been looking in to this as part of my AVP project)and have something in the dark that can only be patchily seen. I plan to use an air brush and washes to give the effect of lighting in the dark only showing part of the creature in the dark corridor. I may think about using real light sources as part of this but that is if I have time. at the moment my plan is to only use one to 3 minis. lets hope the project all goes well and in to the dark we go.

One of the main thing I wanted to do with this project was to have a lot of source lighting using airbrushing and possibly real lighting so I’ve decided to do both.

firstly I want to have a light on one side of the door so the light would only reflect of one side of the tyranid.

Using a flat end 6mm red LED and a City of Death lamppost I’ve been able to make a lamp to go on the wall beside the door.

After finishing all the Black Primer I have done a very light dusting of grey using the airbrush to help give some of the details some definition but keeping the darkness I want.

On the floors I wanted to make shore the details under the gridding were still visible once the mesh was put on top. I went abit stronger with the grey and highlighted some of the details so once the mesh is glued on you still have that depth.
