Paul, i love Capain Scarlet, and you've done a great job on them, but honestly, the clanks are just so wonderfully done... ::)

Ray, tell me how you painted the metal work please.

Post by: Ray Rivers on April 29, 2012, 11:45:40 AM: Very tedious job actually... some much detail on the minis it almost drove me mad. o_o

I used Foundry Chainmail, highlighted with Spearpoint (though it is hard to see), Coat d'arms Brass and Miniature Paints Blue Steel. I had wanted to do a shade on the Blue Steel, but I barely made it in time as it was. Hit them with a bit of gloss varnish to make them shine.

Love your minis Matakishi and especially your well know multiple basing! :-*

Post by: Dr Mathias on April 29, 2012, 02:31:07 PM: Beautiful work on the automata, and great choice for the handler. I get the feeling he didn't really want that particular task, but by Jove, he's going to make a good job of it.
