Title: AT-43 Operation Frostbite minis
Post by: stone-cold-lead on 11 February 2017, 04:41:46 PM: Part of a commission of various sci-fi pieces, the three models from the AT-43 Operation Frostbite set. All started off as rather crappy pre-paints before getting hit with the black spray of death and a bit of daubing. I've got all the UK editions of Rackham's Cry Havoc magazine so the pre-paints were a massive let down when I finally saw them after seeing the studio paint jobs shown in there.

I've repainted a bunch of AT-43 models for the same guy in the past so if anyone didn't see them way back when they're in my gallery (http://www.stonecoldlead.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=11468902).

I actually took pics as I painted it but I've not written anything up yet so I'll hold off on posting any step by step.

Colours used though were VGC Parasite Brown base coat highlighted with GW Jokaero Orange and then highlights of VGC Bonewhite. Nice and simple. :)

Beauty, thanks! One got a whole pile of orange to do soon, don't think I own parasite brown, I'll give it a look.
