http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net snafu: Shields. Please note that my current goal is a decent tabletop quality, as I don't think I'm capable of too fine details as of right now.

So here are a bunch of pics of my current experiments, as I don't really know what to aim for right now. Also, the skeletons are supposed to be a raggedy bunch, so different designs all over.

My best design imho. Silver with color drybrushed.


Eeeeh, need tips on making it better. Maybe has potential.


Terrible. Looks like plastic. Help?

So, what do you guys have for me ( other than "lol crappy job dude" pretty please )?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553259/6066388.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553259/6066388.page GMT
If you want to keep that black in the background of the shield then keep doing that, OR you could pick up some armor wash, or nuln oil, something black and ink or wash. And then hit it with the solid colors, put your wash on top of that so it adds some darkness to it, then drybrush the top layer.

Other than that, as you keep experimenting with your color schemes and how you want to paint shields, you'll eventually find the method and the colors that work for you man!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553259/6066459.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553259/6066459.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553259/6066486.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553259/6066486.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553259/6066613.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553259/6066613.page GMT Use a flat black primer and work from there. Using dark colors as the base and building on that with lighter. Dry brushing is your best buddy when starting out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553259/6066628.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553259/6066628.page GMT
Anyway, thanks a ton for the advice so far, every comment is always welcome. Will start experimenting some more ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553259/6066656.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553259/6066656.page GMT
