this is my first tutorial
note that i'm not the very best of painters
but this is just a general out line of what to do
now i'm not good as RAFF
or even Abe at the war college
First off: Base coat
a good base coat can make it a lot easier to paint later on
in the above picture i used a black base coat
you could go for white
or what ever colour you want
it doesn't matter all too much
i like black because it adds low-lights and makes things look more dark and foreboding
the next step is laying down a simple layer of paint on the flaps
because i'm an ultramarines nut i choose Ultramarine Blue
this is a real basic layer
neatness isn't a factor
and next we come to the doors
note the dark angels emblem
the drop pod isn't one i built
i traded it with a friend
but anyways...
it's just like the flaps
neatness is not an issue
once you're done with the outside of the door the paint on the flaps should be dry and ready for a second coat
this time try and be neat
inside doors
same as before
one coat
no neatness
follow up with giving the outside of the doors a second coat
flap details
i painted the receding parts on the flaps boltgun metal
also while you have the metal out you should paint...
the walkway
the harnesses
and the thrusters
to add a little flavour into the
DP i painted golden yellow on the edge on the doors
and dark angels green on the top of that centre bit
now repeat until you have the desired effect
once finished with the
DP take a thin layer of a mix of skull whit and what ever you used and add a little bit on the edges
here's the finished product
and there you go
try not to criticize me too much
and remember...
ALWAYS THIN YOUR PAINTS!!!!
