UPDATE (Jan. 24, 2013)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried washing the original model I painted but it turned out terribly. I have now painted another model, and instead of washing right away, I first laid the basecoats of all the main colours. I'm very happy with how the Guardian looks now (especially considering it is only the second model I've ever painted )

See below. Do you guys have any advice on what I should do next?

To properly view the picture, after you click on it, press the zoom button on the Photobucket website, then once the full-sized picture appears, right click on it and press VIEW IMAGE. That way the picture is not zoomed in so far and you can clearly see the whole picture.

It was - 38c here today and I primed some kroot that way today haha.
I would recommend that because it will make the model alot more smooth vs brush painting the primer on.

Overall it looks good and I think a wash of beil tan shade. Then highlight with warpatone glow or moot green depending on how bright you want.
Looks good tho keep it up! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575272/6467144.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575272/6467144.page GMT First Model ever WIP (Eldar Guardian)

I have read that before (regarding bringing the model inside after spray priming in cold weather). However, I'm worried about the fumes that the model will give off inside my house. What do you think? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575272/6467164.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575272/6467164.page GMT First Model ever WIP (Eldar Guardian) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575272/6467170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575272/6467170.page GMT First Model ever WIP (Eldar Guardian)
Just make sure when priming in the cold that the spray can is at room temperature and so are the models. Run out, prime the models then bring them back in.

Oh and make sure to have shaken the can a lot prior to spraying.

Love the colour you chose for the guardians.

Side note, it's hilarious that all of us talking about spraying in cold weather are Canadians, lol. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575272/6473832.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575272/6473832.page GMT
