Модель купила еще в далеком 2011 году, и вот появилось желание ее покрасить. Очень трудоемкая вещь за счет множества мелких деталек и завитушек. Но главное нарекание вызывает нестабильное качество отливки. Видимо, мне так везет, что половина моделей ForgeWorld'a, которые я красила, так или иначе были с серьезными косяками. В этом случае у дяденьки были существенные проблемы с левым глазом, которые возможно было исправить только лепкой на начальном этапе. Но я это упустила (да и лепщик из меня еще тот), поэтому с покрасом долго мучалась, пока друг не присоветовал мне идею - закрыть глаз повязкой, которая трансформировалась в монокль.
По цветам пыталась пробовать краски, которые у меня лежали нетронутыми, так как всегда предпочитала более теплые травяные оттенки зеленого. А тут решила плясать от холодного изумрудного. Собственно, вокруг него все и закрутилось ).
This model was bought in 2011 and now it's time to paint it. It's very time-consuming model because of lots of details and patterns. But the main thing I can say after finishing it - it's the uneven casting quality. Apparently, I'm so lucky that half of the ForgeWorld models, which I painted, have one or another serious deffects. In this case, the most big problem was with his left eye. It could be removed with sculpting at an early stage, but I missed it (and I'm not good sculptor enough for such work). So the face painting was a long agony, until a friend gave me an idea to close the eye with something and now it's monocle.
I wanted to use some colors which I never used before - this cold tones of green. I prefer to paint with more warm grassy greens. And exactly this reason was my start point ).

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the armour and sword. It'd be great to see how you go about that.
