Test paint for LPL

[OSHIROmodels]

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 

cheers

Damn, he's fantastic! Whatever you're doing, keep doing it

[Silent Invader]

That's very, very effective  

[Mister Rab]

  That blue is wonderful!

[Mancha]

That's really great, but why are you showing it to us?  If we've seen all or a portion of your entry previously, you don't get the bonus points.

Nice figure.   

...using a new varnish...

Which varnish?

[Calimero]

It look fantastic. Who make the figure?

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks chaps 

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

Looking good!

[gamer Mac]

Very nice
This year's LPL is building up to be a cracker.

[Malamute]

Splendid paint job, how does it differ from your usual way of painting?

[OSHIROmodels]

Very watered down top layers and taking my time 

Cheers chaps

A corker. Which dark blue on black and how many hilites?

[OSHIROmodels]

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

... as it's quite pleasing 

Indeed it is.
