10-04-2009 :: Weathering the ball turret
Oil stains and other run offs :)
10-04-2009 :: Pigments for the ground
Well, more pigment on the ground, a mix between Mig and Windsor & newton ones
10-04-2009 :: End of pigments
Anyway after rubbing the surface with some pigments mixed I got that..
10-04-2009 :: Water run offs
First some water run offs, spreading in the rocks.. I first painted the surface with a diluted darker shade of the same tint so and then I used diluted future to add a bit of gloss at the center of the "stream".
That's one of the reasons why I used pigments in some places, those are so flat (opposite to gloss) that a single bit of future run off on them suddenly brings the whole to life.
10-04-2009 :: Blood run offs
After the initial coat of dark paint, I adde diluted future, but I screened and screened again with more coats of future so that the outer borders would be scarcely gloss while the place where the turret will stand is really glossy.
10-04-2009 :: Water effects: foam!
On to more water effects, here are the basic ingredients: Vallejo paints and Acrylic gel.
10-04-2009 :: Mixing the stuff
A dark grey + a bit of blue mix. You have to be cautious because however dark is your paint mix, it's going to look a lot clearer when set.
