I did these up a while ago and I'm curious what all you people on here think about em. My first experiences with oil paints, If enough people seem into it ill post a tutorial. Hope yall like it!

Very nice blend on them!

I like the blue one more than the orange. Though nice blending on both.

Woah, that is sick nasty nasty sick awesome sick nasty.

How do you create a shade like that?

Nice. No, not nice. Great!

Thanks a bunch! I'm going to put together a tutorial when I get an extra power sword soon.

@terranarc- all it takes is few oil colors and a little patience. Really is easier to me than trying to blend water based acrylic paints like GW"s. The drying time is so long that its impossible not to get a good blend. You could take an hours long break and come back and finish it its awesome. Just have to be careful not to touch it when its perfect, takes a few days to really dry.

Perhaps add a touch of OSL to the hilt as well though? So the blade seems to glow a little more.

I definitely thought about the OSL. Hadn't tried the techniques yet though and decided to wait and try it out on a junk model first. That is the next technique I wanna learn though. These are my table top terminators too, I save the more advanced techniques on showpieces and competition entries. Mostly because of time.
