Fun in the Weird Wild West Pt 2

Next up I’ll be using army painter tones and washes to calm the drybrush down. Red on the coat and hat, dark tone on the skin and trousers then a 50/50 medium and dark tone mix followed by an undiluted soft tone on the bone areas

And finally a Matt coat to finish up

Now it’s time to tone the drybrush down with some washes, purple on the purples, 50/50 dark tone and wash medium on the rest. Then in with a soft tone on the ropes and bones etc. Avoid the bright purple as it’s makes it look dirty.

The upstart crow!

Just as I thought I was finished I remembered I’d left the crow off of the end of her staff! With such a slender connection I knew the drybrush step would snap it so I’ll paint separately and attach. Just a black paint, drybrush and dark tone should suffice!

Also I decided the face didn’t look right and when checked again I realised her teeth are showing in some mad grin, quick bit of white and she’s done!

Now And here she is after a quick matt coat.

Really pleased with how she turned out, I‘ve discovered I love painting skull face paint!! FYI Stone Golem is my new favourite paint. It’s a fantastic alternative to a pure white. Also that would be the name of my band If I had a nineties grunge band!!

I forgot to take a picture of the brain matter beige drybrush step but there was one! Then it’s washed. 50/50 dark tone and medium on everything bar The purple and then purple tone on the purple and then a soft tone on everything bar the Warlock purple

Quick tidy up on the base and matt coat and she’s done! Was a bit daunted at fist by all the strapping but the dry brush and washes really blend it all in. Love how she’s turned out!

Finally a Matt coat and the big meanie is done!

And she’s done, not 100% happy as I think I made a mistake with the primer colour. Its too dark for the colours I was using so it took way to many coats. Still when in lockdown supplies are scarce!!

So the print can be found here for the measly sum of $13.95.

Firstly I needed to increase the print size to 114% to scale with my WWX minis. This did mean the files would fit on the bed of my anycubic so I had to chop the pieces up in mesh mixer but all fairly straight forward.

All the bits printed out fine with no supports and all in all took about a week printing in the daytime. Also used about a roll of filament.

Then a good going over with Zandri dust primer, just had enough!!

Now I was unsure how to paint t but then I remembered I had two bottles of Model Mates sitting in a draw from a Salute trip from about three years ago. After seeing how @warzan has been using model mates and water to quickly get scenery finished I thought I’d have a crack!

Firstly I went over everything with a sand brown and then added patches of mud brown.
Once that was done I went in with a large brush and water.

Once all the pieces were dry I hit it all with a Skeleton bone drybrush and some Autumn flock blend from the OTT store!
