Droid Wave Painted Up
awesome droid eye. need some more red eyes on Dark C-3P0
great job
Where can I see your other minis? : )
Thanks everyone!
@Chrisael I don't have them online anywhere at the moment, but I'll be setting up an imgur hopefully this weekend and link to it here.
I really love the two droids at the bottom! For a couple of all-black units you managed to give them a fantastic amount of... texture? contrast? (sorry I don't really know my painting terms ). In any case they look like they're actual metal droids despite being painted in all one colour.
What did you use to get that dark metallic color for the droids? Black + Metallic paint?
It was kind of an accident, to be honest.
I did a few layers of really thin lead belcher to get it even, then I just kept hitting them with GW's blue shade (I forget the name *something Nightshade?) and a few drops of water.
Then they were given a very gentle dry brush with a brighter silver, and details were basecoated with same. Darker details were picked out with lead belcher and a little bit of black. Finished out with an equal mix of Nuln Oil & the blue wash, then did the eyes.
@Spidey NZ I agree 000's eyes didn't register as red, I may take another stab at them when I have a second.
