<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Suggestions on finishing model painting?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Suggestions on finishing model painting?
Just finished painting up a couple of 'squads' of Necron Warriors. Black primer, Boltgun Metal 'skin', black guns, and some Scorpion Green in their ribs and in some of the gun's bits.

Trying to figure out where to go from here, if anywhere.
Black Ink/Wash? Gloss varnish? Matte varnish? All three? Just leave them as-is?
Suggestions? And a quick explanation on how to use any of those?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2412640.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2412640.page GMT Suggestions on finishing model painting? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2412653.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2412653.page GMT Re:Suggestions on finishing model painting? I really need to figure out how to take better pictures with this camera, if possible.

Id say a green wash on all the green bits and either a geryphonne, devlin mud or black wash depending how you want them to look ie dirty (dwvlan) rusty (greyphonne) or just a bit darker, all will add lowlights and gives you a chance to play with light highlites with your base colour, hopethat helps]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2412863.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2412863.page GMT Suggestions on finishing model painting? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2412868.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2412868.page GMT Suggestions on finishing model painting?

Was waiting until the model itself was done being painted.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2414886.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2414886.page GMT Re:Suggestions on finishing model painting? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2414911.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2414911.page GMT Re:Suggestions on finishing model painting?

The only problem is the wash will run into the recesses you painted green, you might have to redo this part and leave it till the end for the next ones you do.

So wet the brush in wash, and brush it over just about the whole model? Would be my first time washing (whew I stink!).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2415053.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2415053.page GMT Re:Suggestions on finishing model painting? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2415090.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2415090.page GMT Re:Suggestions on finishing model painting?

"Black Ink", actually.
I've had it a while. GW's names for their colors used to be different.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2415131.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2415131.page GMT Re:Suggestions on finishing model painting? GW black ink you are gona have to dilute it with water, that stuff is too strong to use neat as a wash. I'd go with 1 part ink and 4 parts water.

I just ran out of my last black ink When I first tried Badab Black I thought whats wrong with this ? Why is it so diluted!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2415373.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2415373.page GMT Suggestions on finishing model painting? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2423192.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344790/2423192.page GMT
