Heres mine...

Probably this guy:

Some probably already seen this fellow but I'll post him again anyway, my emperors champ.

Dude.... that would be awesome if those cracks werent so thick!

Not sure if he is the best but it can be my astorath



pleas vote in my gallery

That astorath is sweet. I like the bone color surrounding the muscle lookin armor. Very cool.

I'll throw one onto the pile

'ere is my kustom biker warboss







there are parts from the trukk and warbiker kits, and the old pewter warboss model. was a blast to build and took forever to paint

Damn you Zarkin! DAAMN YOU!!

I like it. He looks like he just got stepped on by a Titan and shook it off.

Probably this one..

I think he still needs... something. But he's probably my best overall work.

@Dan - Maybe a wash to the face and chest armour? Otherwise it looks good.

Not sure if he's my best model, but the wife got a new camera, and somebody else posted a pic of the same model.

Nice model Phryxis. I think the weakest part of mine is the Blade, and you really nailed it!

Just going by what the title of the thread is about. This is probably my best painted model.



Wet blending, pearl shading, fabric fishnets, chrome enamel, and a diorama base built from scratch.

She just isn't Fantasy or 40K based.

Well my best one is at the local game store in the display cabinet so ill throw up my second best.

I think the weakest part of mine is the Blade, and you really nailed it!

As you can see, I used the time tested strategy: exactly copy with the GW studio people did.

I'm not smart enough to think of what looks cool. I let the experts do that, and then follow their lead.

zarkin, curious to know what paint brand and color the pink you used on your celestine is?

Won't be the best of all time but one of my best at this point in time.

I don't know about that. I could base quite a few fantasies on her.

This is my slightly NMM Dark Elf Lord

@Jayden63 Dont worry about the subject. Personally I'd like to see a larger variation of models and subjects on this forum.

It looks great btw. Do you mean you used real cloth for the fishnets ? And what do you mean by 'pearl Shading' ? ive not heard that term before.

Is it just me or does "pearl shading" sound slight seedy?

Awesome model though!!!

Yup the fishnets are under batting for big poofy dresses. Makes a wonderful scaled down large hole fishnet design. "Pearl shading" should have been typed as "pearl blending." Its adding pearl flakes to paint to give it an iridescent/shimmering effect. I guess you could get the same effect by just buying pearl paints at an arts and crafts type store. I used that on all of her clothing, shows up much better IRL than in the pics. If you use a close up flash the effect shows up very nicely, but other aspects of the model get washed out or over lightened.

The model looks great and I'm very intregued by the 'pearl blending'. Could you perhaps post a picture made with flash?

Here are a few more examples.



On this one its the blue of her outfit. I really like the way the effect turned out on this one.




And on this one the light blue covering her chest.



Here you can see it pretty good on this guys Kimono.




For the extra curious here is a link to my resin garage kit gallery. Some of the figures are probably NSFW. There is nothing what I would call explicit there, just some naked resin boobies on some of them.

I just realized looking at these figures that the only colors I've really tried using pearl in is blue and dark green. LOL. I'm currently working on a figure mixing pearl into white and red. We will have to see how that turns out.

FW resin - and thank you.

Hrm, how large is it? I wonder if there are any instances of folks picking up oils and using those, although I would be concerned if any of the chemicals would effect the resin.

Sorry, forgot to add my contribution.

Would have to be my CoL Terminator Lord. I've started work on them again, with the addition of some bikes and a Landraider, so I should have an update to me blog in a week or two I think.
