Khaleth Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hello fellow admirals. since I've been expanding my kurak forces in many new directions lately I have decided to make a collective post on my finished and current projects.

Khaleth Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Part 2 ... Bastion Fleet I wasnt very keen to repeat the shole sorylian colour theme again, specialy after a whole year learning different airbrush techniques, I even started thinking in mixing the colour patterns... but finally decided to introduce the new techniques with some minor changes but maintaining the general concept. Step 1 prime black the models Step 2 Paint white making a transition for each panel (yes its a lot of work) help yourself with a plastics card so you start airbrushing at the card and follow to the panel) Step 3 mask the nose with tape and apply a thinned red ferrari. Step 4 mask the red nose and a bit more, so we can now apply the emerald green, which we need to thinn too. This is one of those small changes I mentioned before, I really need a brighter colour than when I painted my first sorylians,l later you will see why. Also I skip making a mix so its a win-win situation. Step 5 now we will mask the pattern desired for the model to paint in usaf grey and then in white. we are not finished yet... Step 6 apply acrylic gloss varnish from vallejo. let it dry in a room with out dust Step 7 mix black oil paint ( like the ones for arts) with Universal solvent (thinner)and apply it to the all the panels. let it dry for 10 to 15min, and then remove smoothly with a dry cloth. http://vid1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah259/khaleth86/Bastion%20Fleet/IMG_1594_zpsae5qefmb.mp4 for now you can the difference between a year ago sorylian cruiser and the new assault cruiser. Step8 Here is where I am right now, painting the metallic parts Also just to let you guys know what i post here is the effort of first screwing up a few times with the first model. I will be posting how the bastion fleet comes to an end, and i hope to test them out soon Sorry for the long post, no potato also Resa F, Kurgan, Botticelli and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karun Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 They are really awesome, congrats I definitely need to try the oil wash. But I would say the pure black is a bit violent. I would have gone for something slightly more brown or grey. Still the contrast is strong. Absolutely in love with your Terquai ! I think I will borrow the color scheme on something one day. What color is the ochre ? Khaleth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khaleth Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 thank you all for the comments. They are really awesome, congrats I definitely need to try the oil wash. But I would say the pure black is a bit violent. I would have gone for something slightly more brown or grey. Still the contrast is strong. Absolutely in love with your Terquai ! I think I will borrow the color scheme on something one day. What color is the ochre ? 1. I primed the models with Rotbraun RAL8012 model air primer (vallejo)2. next I preshaded with white.3. I thinned a mix 1:1 of orange and medium yellow 4. apply a thin layer of A.K. interactive weathering effect FILTE, brown NATO tanks5. apply at the spaces between panels and corners a black WASH A.K. interactive Wash for NATO tanks6. with a universal solvent and a diagonal brush help your self to move the wash to where u want to.I think thats all for the ochre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
