Title: Test paint for LPL
Post by: OSHIROmodels on February 09, 2011, 08:15:25 PM: Here we have a test figure that I painted for LPL using a new varnish and lighting.

Quite pleased with the result :) Might get some different backgrounds for the LPL though

I'll get to use him at some point in a game ;D

cheers

Which varnish?

Questions in order of asking...

It's a test figure as I'm trying out a slightly different way of painting and using a different varnish with slightly different lighting to go with it :) He won't be in the LPL but will be part of a larger group of figures, some of which will be in the LPL.

The varnish is 'Humbrol model & craft hobby spray varnish' It's for acrylics, is 150ml and is about £5 a pop but certainly worth it.

I honestly can't remember who made the figure but I think I got it from Partizan some years ago (maybe the free figure on the door).

cheers

Title: Re: Test paint for LPL
Post by: OSHIROmodels on February 10, 2011, 09:13:21 AM: Foundry Prussian Blue mid and light shades followed by Foundry Bavarian Cornflower Blue shade and I think I'm going to use it for the rest of my Japanese on Mars as it's quite pleasing :)

He's quite adaptable, of course, but whatever game I see him in, there seems to be something rather large with nasty teeth behind him, just about to end his participation. lol

Doug,, who thinks entirely too cinematic-ly.

He's been like this for a while, dropping casual hints every now and again... I will extract the information from him in due course, even if I have to resorting to use bolt cutters and a blowtorch >:D

Post by: Ray Rivers on February 10, 2011, 08:23:00 PM: Yep. Well done, he looks terrific!

And the photo is also quite good. Nice crisp shot up close.

That is what you want for the LPL... crisp and close.
