opponenttheory's infinity and other scifi miniatures

[streetkern]

This looks amazing - would love to see a step by step

For a 'quick' paint job, that looks amazing! Any chance of a recipe?

[opponenttheory]

I used a less refined version of a method by Jeremie Bonamant Teboul. I first basecoated all areas with medium to dark colours. Then I sprayed the model with white to lighten the upper surfaces. Then I used several glazes/washes of diluted army painter and gw washes to add colour. Finally I picked out a few highlights with an offwhite.

Some really nice minis here. 
The Nomads are top, with beautiful bases.

VanZant is cool too, but the base is a bit "flat" in comparison of the Nomad ones...

Keep us showing some good painting, sir !

[opponenttheory]

The nomads are from my own collection whereas RvZ was a quick gaming standard to sell on ebay hence the different basing styles.

I had a go at repainting an x-wing. I won't be doing any more as edge highlighting all of those little panels was no fun and the end result wasn't worth the time spent.

[Andym]

Fantastic! I must say what ever time you spent doing the panel lines, was worth it! The engine exhaust is particularly well done!

[opponenttheory]

I've had some time whilst I wait for some commissions to arrive so I've had a go at painting space marines. Turned out okay this time especially the nmm but I still struggle with judging the contrast on highlights when using the airbrush. 

[syrinx0]

That is fantastic.  The contrasts look great to me! 

[Andym]

Brill! I love the sword!

I've started on a new series of tutorials.

Glorious work 

May I ask what is that insane red on the Nomads ?
Is is a paint or mix ?

It's either pure red - warpaints or khador red base - p3. They're not too different in colour. The p3 paint is better covering but I prefer the warpaints for glazing and transitions.

And again stunning work!
