I decided to get back to a project I started two months ago, a 75mm Murmillo Gladiator from Alexandros Models. The skin is still a work in progress but today I decided to put some time in on the helmet. I started with Scale75's Necro Gold mixed with Reaper's Imperial Purple. Then I mixed in some Elven Gold and finally Thrash Metal. After that I applied a few dark brown and dark purple glazes to reinforce some of the shadows.
Here's a size comparison for my two gladiator projects. Just a slight difference is scale...
I am still blown away that you get those transitions without an airbrush!
ReplyDeleteThat would definitely make things easier! But I don't have enough fine control with the airbrush to shade the musculature the way I want. So I'm stuck gradually layering in the color variations with periodic broad glazes to help some of the blends.
