More progress on the Start Collecting! Space Marines box set.
Managed to steal a little more hobby time last week, and worked on the terminator captain included in the kit. It's a fun model, and I've always enjoyed painting capes - something therapeutic about painting the recesses and highlights to exaggerate the folds.
Thought I'd paint him in ultramarines blue. My force is grey with blue trim, but I wanted him to stand out - and this is keeping within the theme.

Love it, is that freehand braid detailing on the cape? It looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOh. Lord, no. I don't have the skill for that. I just edge brushed the sculpted trim on the cape.
DeleteI call BS. You've been avoiding it. You have the skills.
DeleteLovely and smooth and great cape, I was doing a cape yesterday, not sure mine is as smooth tho... he does look quite UM, maybe he needs a Grey Shoulder Pauldron to link into rest of force? Or Kneepad?
ReplyDeleteI air brushed a very subtle gradient on the cape, and then highlighted the crests with a lighter red.
DeleteDamn you and your ridiculously clean paint jobs!
