4Lom repaint

By Lybo, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

I'm not a pro painter but I had an idea for 4Lom, using the illicit symbol as the number 4 in his name. So this is what I came up with. I know it's not galactic standard but for it to work it has to readable. I wanted the ship to look dirty and used since he's just a droid, scum, bounty hunter and doesn't care about looks. Anyway this is my idea, feel free to slam or praise :)

Praise!

Looks Good.

The gun metal stands out against the red.

Metallics are not an easy thing to do on small miniatures.

Might I make a small suggestion.

Perhaps a Citidal wash will help a bit more with depth.

Something like Nuln Oil.

It will look good sat in the panel lines and recesse's.

Although have some water on standby if you do ink the model.

Nuln Oil is a good Deep black.

But can be heavy.

You can thin the wash on the model with clear water.

To a depth you like.

I do it a lot on mine.

Take care.

All the best.

Barry.
