I've come in from the garden with slight sunburn and thoroughly knackered so no painting tonight but I figured I should get a post in to show some WIP shots of the Hasslefree hazard suits I picked up the other day.
Yellow is still proving a bit troublesome. I originally laid down a mix of Calthan Brown and Iyanden Darksun foundations, layering more Iyanden, and then Sunburst Yellow and finally Bleached Bone into successive mixes. The product I arrived at was a bit rough but looked good. I then muffed it by washing the minis with Gryphone Sepia. Bloody washes. I love them and use them for everything, but they aren't always necessary.
You can see in the pic the result of the wash on the front 3 models, and the effect provided once the layers/highlights are reapplied in the rear model. The underlying recessed shadows are exaggerated by the wash. I am tempted to mix a light glaze with my original foundation mix and start again to try to lighten the minis. Not sure yet.
The guy at the back is 90% done. I added some chipping to his pads, and want to add some more to his air tank, as well as a final highlight to the weapon before I call it done. The mini is basically a 3 colour affair - simple, quick and effective.
Once I have the set done I will post some better pictures.
Cheers all,
Pom
I really like these miniatures, how does their scale compare to GW's products? The yellow hazard suits look good to me and the guy who's 90% finished is great. Personally I don't think the shadows on his suit seem too exaggerated. Very nice so work so far!
ReplyDeleteCheers Papps, hopefully the follow up post indicates the scale for you.
