morslaBack to painting posts again... I've finished two lots of work over the last week, ending in a fairly busy weekend.
This is a Falcon grav-tank in Ulthwe Craftworld colours, and my first real attempt at painting black armour - something I've never really liked, as it always ends up looking too grey... I've used some of the P3 colours (Thamar Black and Greatcoat Grey) and kept the highlights to small areas like the edges of armour plates. It seems to have worked - next month I'll be painting a few more units for the owner of the Falcon, including some jetbikes.
I really need to figure out how to get the whole model in focus :) (Pic taken using macro mode, F/22 and a 1/2 second exposure - I can't increase the aperture setting any further, so I'm at a loose end as to what I should try next time...)
