Step-by-Step painting of the Deep Soldier

[CyberAlien312]

Marvellous work, you've got some painting skill there!

[Marine0846]

Great painting.
Excellent step by step.
I use a lot of inks and washes in my painting.
Will try some of the ideas you use.
Thanks for sharing.

So difficult miniature, but the outcome is excellent! Really amazing painting job

[Peter@BattleScape]

Really nice; learnt a lot from that. Thanks.
I can find the Liquitex and Golden Fluid Acrylic stuff in the UK, but not the Golden Highlight (Reaper MSP).
Is there an alternative out there available in the Uk does anyone know?

You try this guy for the Golden Highlight:

Hope that helps

Miniature Heroes has one pot in stock at the moment here

Golden highlight is an interesting color that I'm sure has equivalents in GW colors and Vallejo. It is not bleached bone, but is more like a mix of yellow ochre and white, with some burnt umber maybe. Not entirely sure, but you could probably use Ungor Flesh from GW.

Lovely pj guide there, was looking for a way to represent tarnished bronze on exo suit I've just finished converting, excellent idea, will mercilessly emulate.

Any chance of more painting tutorials on your other miniatures?

I've turned over much of the painting duties for DeepWars to WorthyPainting but I may do a couple here and there. As things get done I may post them here.

The diver miniatures and others for DeepWars are ready to sale and others for pre-order now.

Here is a family photos of some new figs that are cast and up for sale. The smaller diver is going to be in metal by the start of next week. There are alternate weapons almost ready for that one.

I would like to see more of the large swimming diver

plus a bonus robo-crab, the Salvage Mech for the Ancients of Atalan force.

All lovely stuff!! I can see purchases on the horizon!

This is the Heavy Support Soldier done in metallics but using the same basic techniques as before. The figure was primed in black , then given a zenith spray of bronze paint. When dry, it was glazed with a mix of turquiose and burnt umber ink mixed with matte medium. Then it was drybrushed with bronze, mixed with a touch of silver, then glaze again with a thin layer of inks. This is the initial step. Next comes the glowing blue view windows to give some contrast. Some of the steel parts were given a drybrush of silver, then a wash of burnt umber ink.






Here is a group shot of the ones I'm doing for the Kickstarter rewards. It is easier to do them en masse.
