After my last section, I did the red glaze on the skin, but I wasn’t super happy with it so I ended up going back in with really thin layers of the lighter and darker grey, as well as with the amethyst combination in the under areas.
I did the green glaze over all the gold and I really liked it, but went a little far. As well, with all of the other glazes the gold had lost it’s shine, so I went back along 30% of the edges with the Dwarf Bronze, and then 5% of the edges with Mithril Silver to give some variation. This gold is most of the model, so it was important to change it up a little.
The back banner was fun and a little frustrating. I used a couple layers of the Bloodletter glaze which was still super orange. I did a layer of the SW Red Black, and decided to get some more red in it and did some really light layers of Mephiston Red which made it a lot redder. Then I took the Amethyst mix and weathered the banner a bunch. I got impatient in a few spots, and the glaze had dried along the edges and was still wet in the middle and it left a big ring. So I had to go back with the Mephiston and start again.
Lastly I took a number of really light layers of Vallejo Amarillo Lunar Moon Yellow and lightly painted in the yellow star, to help keep the banner visible even under the layers.
Here’s the metal one!
And here’s the new plastic one! Much easier to paint because it’s so light!
And here they are together!
