C'Tan Deciever WIP FF - 40K Terra

Gregor Xenos · 09-16-2007

Hi all,
Figured since I had questions on my whole FF process I'd share my latest project w/ youze.

this is the Necron C'Tan Deciever *doing it for comission*

*this model is a cast-iron B to assemble!!* ALL of the parts had to be pinned, and very little area to accomplish it. (ended up using "G" guitar string)
*ha ha g-string! I kill me!)

Here he is w/ black primer spray coat:

After that, I Dry Brushed his head, horns, arms, and abs of steel gold.
Also DB'd small areas of cloth where they touch him. (as they are supposed to be completely metal-like in substance: going to transistion between metal and cloth look)

BEGINNING FF:
Used the Kameleon Green/Blu spray. (this'll have 2 pics; the first is focused well, the 2nd unfocused to show color better)

More to come later:

BTW: what color should i do the "slit" *sorry, but its not a crystal or a gem* on his head?
Had planned on his eyes being bright green (like the rest of the army)

Thanks

another pic of that last stage would be welcome,as it looks really cool, but the blurriness kinda gets in the way!

looks really cool though. a step-by-step progress would help

thanks for the feedback, sorry for the vulgarity *Dirty Man... still workin on the Old*

The blurred pic is the best interpretation my crappy cam will get of the color, its the same step as the one above.

How do you mean, more step by step? This is it

! Yeah it's THAT SIMPLE

!!!
(unless that is, you would like it to include pics of assembly and priming?)

thanx

the Assembly might be cool?

you know what colours you used. the mix ratios. water consistency. air temperature. elevation of paint station. humidiy level. UV index the day you painted them etc...

lol!

Hmmm... gettin pretty specific here!

Lets see:

COLORS:
Primer: Krylon ultra-flat blk
Gold: Apple barrel (1:1 used float medium but h2o works too *soured milk consistancy {works better for DB}*)
FF: Kameleon Kolor (8oz spray by House of Kolor) *2coats*

Atmospheric conditions:
Hell was beautiful today, slightly overcast. Only 75deg.. someone's been at the thermostat again! Humidity @30%.
You asked, You recieve. (cept for the UV, if you dont burn easily, you usually dont pay attention to this)

BTW: from now on I'll do assembly and GS pics too.

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 09-17-2007

GS pics are more than welcome!

Gregor Xenos · 09-18-2007

well...
heres a new pic:

I DBd the base w/ dark grey (codex?) followed by light grey (SW?).
Aoiding any white. (supposed to be ash waste after all, white would make it look more granite)

more to come, busy working on warriors, flayed, and a goo guide

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 09-18-2007

looking goos.

maybe a watered brown ink to break up the grey would be good?

experiment 626 · 09-18-2007

i'm curious to know what brand of paints you're using?

the overall effect is damn sweet though! i really like the green'ish ink mix over the gold - very erie!

cheers!

SteveBerenyi · 09-18-2007

SteveBerenyi · 09-18-2007

BrainDeleted · 09-18-2007

Yaaaa, finally someone else that relizes, expensive isnt allways better.

Wal-Mart IS EVIL, but so am I.... So there you go.

the green over gold is Kameleon Kolor green/blue, its a spray...
Used to b available at WM (automotive) but they quit ordering it in my area...
*bother*
So I ordered an airbrush and House of Kolor FF paint.
More than one way to skin a cat. (is there really?)

BTW: no one has any ideas for the color of the "guyver" slit in his head????

Perturabo · 09-19-2007

Yep it would help "define" the base deatila a bit more

have you considered insted of drybrushing the body going for a more blended technique on the metal areas-would give the body a more metalic look (and make it look less chalky) and would make the metal/cloth transition easier?

Gregor Xenos · 09-19-2007

May have to try that on the NB comming up...
My comissioner saw pics of Deciever and LOVES it, so the DBing stays! (on this one anyway)

have it glowing a sickly green necrony glow, kinda like tyou did the res orb on your lord.

Gregor Xenos · 09-19-2007

thats kinda what i was thinking, but I wanted to see what ideas came up.
Thanks

Perturabo · 09-19-2007

A technique I have seen but never experimented with is to use a silver base coat and then use a mix of coloured ink (in this case green) and varnish to create a "gem" effect, dont know if it would be any good in this case but worth experimenting with!

Gregor Xenos · 09-19-2007

Have used before, it looks ok...
Dont think itll look too good in this case.
(look at pic of wraith in my base/crystal tute, i used Ink on silver on his chin tube.)

Spartan-11755 · 09-21-2007

Nice job dude. So what is this paint u get from wal-mart?? I only get Krud Kutter for stripping from wal-mart is the pait negood >.>

I tend to use Reaper Master Paints which is much better than gw paint!
