I haven't made much progress on any single project in the past week, but I have done a little bit here and there. I decided to take a crack at painting some dark metal on Redghar for the pistol barrels and the either cannon balls or bombs on his belt. It basically involved using a lot of matte black mixed into the metal, then more metallic and a bit of a matte highlight color to create the shine points. The idea is trying to force the dark areas to stay dark and limit the light/reflective spots.
Really not much left to do on him. I have the feeling the chains on the anchor and around his neck will take me a bit, but the knee patch (once I figure out the color) and the arm band should be quick enough to do.
In addition, I did some glazing on the knight. Mostly I focused on the face, now that I've gotten the areas around it painted. I also did some glazing on the armor and the surcoat, but the effects there are very subtle and not easy to pick out from the photo.
And here's a close up comparison of what difference the glazes make.
Thanks fot the comparison pictures. It`s amazing to see how these subtle changes brings more depths to the mini
