Harlequins commission

One down, three to go. For the cockpit, I used something different. It’s called (oddly) “Turbo Dork” and it has to be applied over black base. Gives a neat iridescent effect. The cockpits were all painted black anyway to start with.

Overall, happy to get one done and now can work with the others.

Work up from basic airbrush to adding hand cut frisket stencils, and then some highlights. Also used a glaze airbrush layer to make shading easier.

Using my Iwata Kustom CS airbrush, I applied:

– AK Gen 3 Rus Blue Light base

– AK Gen 3 Grey Blue added to the base and thinned with AK Acrylic Thinner

– AK Gen 3 Pastel Blue with more thinner to get to the highest level

Let these fully dry now for the afternoon, and then I’ll apply a quick gloss varnish inter-coat before going on to work purples into the scheme.

These are going to be mostly airbrushed. So I’m making some stencil masks, in preparation.

Just a couple of Wraithlord dudes being Wraithlord dudes.

On to grav tanks next!

I had to match someone else’s basing style – some kind of all over white.
I made a mix of Golden brand fine pumice gel (which is light grey), added Vallejo White Primer, and some White Ashes pigment flakes for a bit of texture. Applied with art spatulas, and a thick brush to take away any peaks.
