Adeptus Mechanicus "counts as" Sentinel Part 3
Ok, ok... I am a bit of a slacker.. Excuses for no updates aside I have been slowly working on finishing this set of Sentinel conversions.
Aiming for a little bit of a different paint scheme, I focused on trying to paint Sandstone.. Turns out not only is stone a difficult concept to paint, sandstone is exceptionally challenging due to the wacky colors combos and random patterns. The aim was something along the lines of this..
I ended up with something completely different, but not terrible.. With more practice and experimentation the goal is replicating something closer to traditional Sandstone.
Going with my Admech Bases to fit in the line Troops
The next set I will pose, adjust and label before painting, the adjustment of the "Toes" was a pain after the fact, too much time was spent fixing paint blemishes after fiddling with the legs to get the position correct.
More soon, and I hope to avoid another 3 months between updates..
Very cool effect! I really dig how that turned out - looking forward to seeing more!
ReplyDeletethanks!
ReplyDeleteThe sandstone effect is amazing, great job on that.Did you adjust the toes after it was already painted?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, I regret I posed the toes after painting, requiring a bunch of touch ups & corrections..
The next set of 3 I will make the bases first, pose the legs and toes and then prime & paint.
