Painting update time! Engines have now been painted, with my first attempt at some OSL here and there. This is most obvious on some of the metal ships, as their engines are solid, compared to the plastic ones that are hollower. Either way, pretty happy with how they turned out.
Kind quick guide on my process. This is the pre-engine glow effect. Its leadbelcher, a black wash, and then a highlight of leadbelcher
First drybrush with a dull white. I used corax white.
Second drybrush with a brighter white. I used white scar.
Wash using equal parts (army painter) magic blue and thinner medium. There were two layers of this, with a second layer away from the engines, to make that section darker.
I didn't take individual photos for the next few steps, but there was another wash layer of electric blue, magic blue and thinner medium, followed by a wash of electric blue and thinner medium, building up warmer colours towards the engines. This was then followed by a very fine drybrush of white scar on the edges of the engine.
Here was a different approach I tried to make a green engine glow, not a blue. I think I like the blue more.
Group shot time.
And the box that started it all!
I've also finished off another Funko POP repaint. This time a Blood Angels Assault Marine.
