Six of the Best - Sessions 4 & 5

 Session 4 - Assembly


Wasn't impressed by the Reikland Fleshshade over the enchanted blue on the test model. It just looked dirty but could be used in small sections will give a nice rusted look in parts. 

So before doing any washes, It was time to put the figure together so that the washes flow in the right way when the model is put together. As I didn't have a picture of the finished figure to hand it did take a few minutes to work how to fit the model together as the head didn't seem to fit when the chest guard was fitted. But after a few choice words it all went together. 

It is also about this stage that I tend to lose a bit of interest (See the last post on Dori the Dwarf)and figures can sit on the paint bench for a bit because they can look a bit flat. But press on as hopefully it will start to come alive in the couple of sessions!


Session 5 - Washes



A quick session having decided to mix some of my own washes. I added a drop of washing up liquid to each of the diluted washes to help them flow. I deliberately let some bleeding occur between the washes to give a 'used' rather than a neat factory finish. Particularly around the weapon as O don't want it to look quite clean.
