Hey, just finished him and here is the final dipping!

Im guessing you used a white basecoat - theres a few spots you missed when painting which are glaring at me with evil eyes
Otherwise the red looks pretty sweet dipped and the carpace certainly makes the model stand out.
How long roughly did this take to paint?

It took me about 4hr to do the base coat blue, 2hr to do the red and wash, and about 3hr to do the dipping.

Hours or did you dip some other models while you were at it?

No just that one. Im very slow and not that good.

Dipping? I assume you mean with quick shade?

It might be called that i was under the assumption that it was called dipping.

Very nice...

Here's a method that will help with painting quickly and not sacrificing quality.

Speed painting assembly line style.

Go get a can of dragon red primer from army painter's website its the equivalent of gw's red gore.
prime all your models then paint the base color of everything on them, ie claws black, carapace blue, eyes yellow or whatever your scheme is. Paint the largest areas first cleanly if you mess up a bit oh well come back to touch up after you've gotten every color down.

Now get a can of quick shade strong tone and dip the models. Shake em off with a pliers and then give them a 24 hour drying time

Finally get a can of matte varnish spray. Army painter gives the model a perfect matte coat.
