Will you be using a metallic paint with an airbrush?

I am using hand brushing as I have never used an airbrush.

I have some "tank" brushes to do that no worries Vik! i just have to make sure it can fit in the paint pot throat to get more paint to apply so maybe a 3/4" tank brush.

The lines between the plates will have scorpion green to make it seem aglow from within, and the "engines" or thrusters and such will be the Tin bitz to show the effect like I did on the arks. Oh and of course there will be parts painted in that wonderfully dark purple to have that theme added in!

Well some painting got done. The basic layer is thin and is not thick, but this is stage one after primer.

Just a blend of GW's Burnished gold and dark angel green. More the gold than the green

Oh that took up most of the last batch of the color, had to get more pots of it to mix at a good consistency! It is to be worked on some more!

Is hectic! but worry not, I will be allotting more time to paint and finishing projects now that things are steady, and also likely to see my7 hours drop back down after the Christmas rushes!

That is the way i am going with the scheme, need to retouch though, I just used scorpion green in panel lines to mimic energy glowing from within

I will be loading fresh pics later, did the glowing green color between the plates of the monolith and more touch ups are needed.

As I said, touch ups are needed after filling lines with the glowing scorpion green. Brushes, don't fail me now!

All to help make it lighter when the rods go in place, and that litle bit of right angle makes it look right.

now the glow in the dark paint sounds cool...i do see the need of touchups...nut that is the thing how it only works when doing the deatilworks after the main colors... i know this from aching works too... touchup after touchup... may the brushes be with you indeed^^

the big gap in the front... what have you planned for that? i have seen some portal effects... could go well with the glow in the dark paint... and maybe some sculpted swirling surface to suggest a warp or portal thingy there... with that glowy color you use for force effect that could look mighty sweet...
