Anyway, after priming the whole thing black, I hit the machine parts with a base of Boltgun Metal (yes, I still have several pots of that stuff). After letting that dry, I went to the red parts and based them with two thinned coats of Mechrite Red (Foundation). After that, I then started putting on thin layers of Blood Red. I'm not a fan of Blood Red as it has blotchy areas of more/less color as you apply it. Still, eventually I wound up with a uniform color. I didn't use any washes at this stage because everything is more or less flat on the model. I'll hit the rivits on the legs with a dark wash later on. I'm also not worried about being neat at this point since I haven't started with the Eagle or brass/silver parts.

You'll notice the green table somehow turned yellow. I also forgot to include my paints in the picture so I'll just post what I have now and update later. I thinned my Ultramarine Blue a little too much so it took about four coats to cover properly instead of the two I'm used to.









I promise I'll get better with my camera work.

EDIT: I managed to get some better pictures. Putting my models on a white napkin helped the camera get its act together. I forgot to get another shot of the chest before moving on but that's okay as it was the least bad of the previous set.

FYI: The "Terryn" banner isn't finished. I just base-coated it and will be giving it a faux parchment took to it at a later time. Still, the lettering came out well considering that I'm still a bit ham fisted with my detail work.

I also noticed some blotching in previous pictures so I did some clean-up work on the blues and reds. Finally, I gave the large metal parts on the legs a wash of Nuln Oil to darken them up a bit. The picture probably doesn't differentiate them much from the rest of the metal bits in the legs but when I go back and hit the smaller parts with chainmail silver, the contrast will be more pronounced.
