I use them most of the time for close o anything (not just as basecoat). And I like the tonality of the color range.<br /><br />Grats on your termies.<br /><br />What I like the most : you did some holes ))<br /><br />What I like the less : the white shield on the shoulder pad looks a bit flat. I would have washed it (devland mud) and then re-painted the high parts.Grégory Privathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02887195611197188318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3900510952723355056.post-46709478012840118152009-08-26T12:33:03.514-04:002009-08-26T12:33:03.514-04:00@ Jonathan and AoM:

Or something else? Do they need to be thinned down? Thanks!Paul Wuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936952941124875623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3900510952723355056.post-29353296292561703442009-08-26T10:43:21.222-04:002009-08-26T10:43:21.222-04:00If you want a red that isn't quite as dark as ...If you want a red that isn't quite as dark as the Mechrite Red, try out some P3 Skorne Red. Add some P3 Khador Red Base, and you're done.AoMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834413388942295553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3900510952723355056.post-44183639082769836542009-08-25T21:22:03.890-04:002009-08-25T21:22:03.890-04:00Congrats on finishing the challenge.

One coat of the foundation paint and then a single coat of your chosen red color should do the trick!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3900510952723355056.post-31898862411363840072009-08-25T19:38:51.326-04:002009-08-25T19:38:51.326-04:00@ Mordian7th:

I find it incredibly enjoyable because it allows a certain level of freedom and creativity that the models themselves sometimes don't allow (unless of course conversions are involved).<br /><br />For the brush effect on the bases, I used the moss that's cheaply available at craft stores like Michael's and AC Moore in America. I believe "normal" people use them to decorate indoor plant holders or some such nonsense hehe. A bag's worth is like $5 and the bag is huge. The moss also comes in different colors and textures.Paul Wuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936952941124875623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3900510952723355056.post-40070958520898252202009-08-25T19:08:23.229-04:002009-08-25T19:08:23.229-04:00Looking sharp!

I really like what you've done with the bases, the more I look at mine the more drab and uninteresting they seem - I need to do more scrub and such like you've done, for certain. I hear what you're saying about having a tough time keeping up enthusiasm on projects - it's the bane of my painting as well. Red is one of the hardest colors to get looking right in my opinion, but I think you're doing great! Keep it up!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com
