This is a pictorial timeline of a Honor Guard model I am working on. I am by no means a great painter, but I do believe that I have come a long way from the kind of painting I used to do as a young'un. I worked on this model over the course of the day, between watching the kids and other household projects, and managed to do a pretty good job. The Devil is in the details, I like to say.
I pilfered a couple of great bits from the Sanguinary Guard kit to make this model, and combined it with regular SM Assault Squad bits I had left over. I absolutely love the wrist-mounted Infernus, and the head isn't half bad either.
I tried out a couple of techniques with this model that I normally do not attempt. I tried to paint the powersword in a style I have seen around, and I attempted to make the infernus barrel look like it is still red-hot. What do you think?
That's a really nice start. Good clean colour, and a very positive pose, too.
ReplyDeleteThere are definitely visible priming problems on the model, your primer seems to have left a sort of grainy texture. That's usually caused by paint drying mid air. Did you clear the nozzle before spraying? Was it a damp area? Sprayed from too far?
ReplyDeleteActually, I didn't prime this model with a spray primer. I always use brush-on. The graininess is actually my camera, as the model has no such grain.
