Chaplain WIP

Hey guys, hope you are all OK!
Here are some photos of a Dark Angels Chaplain I am currently working on:
 1.) The 'Black' of the armour was produced by airbrushing Chaos Black with a small amount of Regal Blue. After the wash and weathering process watered down Shadow Grey was used to highlight edges and raised areas.

 2.) The eyes were painted after the weathering. A basecoat of Scab Red was followed by thin coats of lighter colours at the forward edges of the lense. (Red Gore; Blood Red; Blood Red/ Blazing Orange; Blood Red/ Blazing Orange/ Skull White.)
 A small white spot was then painted at the rear of the lens.
3.) The Dark Angels icon was freehanded onto the shoulder guard using Skull White. Luftwaffe Green was sponged on represent white paint flaking off, and afterwards Charadon Granite was sponged on to show paint chips down to the armour's base colour.


 4.) The dust/mud effect was used by mixing Forge World's Grey Ash and Light Earth weathering powders with a small amount of Desert Yellow paint. Acrylic Thinner was used to turn the mixture into a wash, which was then applied in small amounts on parts of the armour.

Greetings Friends!

Hello, Fellow Hobbyists, and welcome to my Blog, where I would like to share with you my current work on a Dark Angels army!

This army started a long time ago, but only recently have I pushed my skills and tried out new techniques from a variety of resources, primarily from other hobbyists via online forums like DakkaDakka, but also from hobby books.

I hope you like my work and subscribe to see what else I will work on. I will be happy to share what i have learnt and the techniques I used on these models, as well as tips and links to helpful sites.

Here are a few photos on some of my (almost) complete work so far: 

 The Scout's face was painted using this 'Eavy Metal guide, which can be found on the GW website (you need to be registered to access it!).

 The Rhino was painted using Advice and tips from Forge World's Model Masterclass Book.
 The Roof Art took a lot of patience and time. It was was originally painted with very watered-down Space Wolves Grey, so mistakes could be painted over very easily.
All my Dark Angels are painted with Vallejo's Luftwaffe Green.


Happy Modeling!
