based and 1st coat on the armor.

i got lucky on this as when i went to take the familiar off the base (my buddy gave me the model fully assembled) the right arm and tabard came off so i can paint them seperately and have easier access to the torso!!!! yess!!!

@ erus - actually its folk art paint #666 metallic antique copper. and since i'm doing chaos the # works good even before i realized what it was.

the copper did turn out better with the blue than i expected. i was going to use the copper as a base for gold but i'm very tempted to leave it.....hmm i'll have to mix up some gold and see if i can darken it a bit. the ab gold i have is too bright at times. that or i'll have to break down and go buy some gw gold......


@hairy - thanks hairy. i'm trying to work on my skills so i've been reading up on some of the tuts folks have been doing in the painting section. especially nano's rants!!! last thing i need is to compete against him and have him swinging his stick or baseball bat in my general direction for doing my paints too thick!

ah oh well no work on this bad boy today. got a special meeting to go to before work so its not enough time to get anything of note done. perhaps after work......

yeah the local walmart doesnt carry apple barrel (gotta get that at another store). works about the same as apple barrel paints. lots of paint with good pigment for half the price of gw or valejo paints. and its a bottle that you can easily squirt some out of so easy to mix versus having to get a siphon for mixing gw paints.......

Nice. I'm really liking the base coating so far.. Especially the coppery bit... Very nice, and excited to see more!
