30K minus 20?

[Sonny!]

Because of Covid, I had a grand plan to start a website to motivate me to paint my collection while at home.
Mainly Space Marines, mainly GW.
I sold off my WWII tanks that I had. Well the 1/285 th GHQ German division, 15mm white metal, and 28mm resin. Now I only have 20mm.
Then did nothing. . Five years later here I am about to embrace that.
So my first ever painted Space Marine from late 1990's? White metal Legion of the Damned.
Shoulder pads are mail order from Games Workshop. You know from the days you could call, speak to a Brit, and order parts from them.
His unpainted brothers (painted) will soon join him on these pages, and on my site. GoodMorningSonny.com
I am hoping by the end of this all 70, not including newer Primaris in that count, will complete my chapter.
Why 30K minus 20? 20 years before they branded 30K my dudes where the dudes. First sons nothing.




Blues got me!

Painted my 2nd white metal treasure, and I got to tell you. I remember now, why I did not continue painting these guys twenty years ago.

Too much blue is making me blue.

The primary color is Dark Prussian Blue by Vallejo on a black rattle can auto primer. Not sure if you do, but I tooth brush the primer after it dries. Just to smooth it. If the miniature part is really large and flat I will use a sanding stick. I never did this back in the day.

All these technics I learned from watching miniature painters on you tube.

If I had known 20 years ago to zenithal. I would have done that to my first guy. I did not do that to this 2nd guy.

Wanting the unit to be the same hue.

I’m thinking though, all 70 marines, cannot be this hue.

Let me say this. I am not an award-winning miniature painter, and if that is your goal there are better sites for you to go to.

However, if you just want motivation to get a part of your army done. I hope I can motivate you to do so.

Although I do not use a wet pallet, I do mix my colors with a drop of GW technical contrast medium. Now I do.

Before that man it was just straight paint.

This 2nd guy is as dark as the first guy because no zenithal. I am thinking my first 10 guys will be like this, and the second group of 10 will have zenithal.

I got a primaris assault guy in the works. He has zenithal using Dark Prussian blue.
