G'day Dakka,



Painted up these for a mate who couldn't get the wings right. He wanted a particular look to them, like parchment.

I gave them a bath in isopropyl and tried to replicate the original colour scheme and get the effect he was after. C&C welcome, as always.

I'd say it looks really good, but looks,more like leather then parchment, could use a lightening

Looks amazing.

i agree though you should use a different background. He kinda blends into it a bit.

Haha all I could see was the background but I wont mention the background because everyone above me mentioned the busy background, other than that I love the colour scheme and the wings look good

Facts are chains that bind perception and fetter truth. For a man can remake the world if he has a dream and no facts to cloud his mind.

I agree, background is too busy. Hard to see the mini

Thanks for the feedback. I was hesitant to use that background but went ahead anyway to try something different.... agree that is it not suitable for anything, really.

Here are some pics with just plain white background. It certainly makes the contrasting colours stand out!










Better?

Get your models on the table and looking good!
