Getting primed

This morning's work - primed and basecoated 4 fusiliers and Father Lucien Sforza. Lots of brush work to do now (not that I'm ever in short supply!)

Update

Progress has been fairly slow this week due to work, but progress has been made.

On the Cutter, I've been finishing off piece by piece, so some parts are nearly completed while others are still only in the beginning stages.

One of my main aims with my infinity miniatures has been to avoid using metallic paints altogether, so I've tried my hand at non-metallic metal for the first time ever as you can see on the Cutter's gun. I like it for a first attempt, but it definitely needs some development.

You can also see some lighting effects on the gauntlet and visor. They arent finished and they need to be taken brighter in my opinion.

Before I go to work today, I'm planning to prime at least half of the bare metal in the first picture.

Today's progress so far

Progress!

First picture is PanO Cutter, followed by a couple of dark elves and then the dark eldar rangers I've been working on.

Work on the Cutter today so far has been a deeper coat of ferrari red mixed with some flat black and then washed with secret weapon's drying blood wash x2 coats. Next step will be successive highlights of mephiston red, consecutively mixing in wild rider red and yriel yellow at the most extreme stage.

Morning's work

Hi!

So, after a long night of cleaning up and building the Panoceanic Cutter, I spent the morning priming and basecoating it, followed by a liberal spray of vallejo satin varnish to keep the basecoat from chipping off the metal.

I use vallejo grey primer and vallejo air ferrari red for the prime and basecoats respectively.

In the first pic, you can see a few of my airbrush works in progress - the dark elf swordsmen from the other day, some eldar rangers (converted to dark eldar aesthetic using greenstuff and dark eldar bits), the hull of a hellhammer tank and a drop pod.

The second pic is the cutter up close.

By the way, I highly recommend airbrushing to everybody who loves a smooth coat. Airbrushes also open up some great techniques and 'looks' that are absolutely impossible to replicate with a conventional paint brush.

More updates to come.
