Well, after a bit of an RL induced break in the middle of painting this one it's finally done.
This one is (very) loosely based on the concept of Dazzle camouflage, or Razzle Dazzle camouflage depending on who you ask. And let me tell you, this will be the last time I try to paint something like this, especially in reds. (Unless somebody offers me a sizeable amount of money.
) Colors used were MSP Bright Red, Fire Orange, Sunlight Yellow, and Leather White for the main colors. Washes were Bright Red mixed at about 3:1 with Muddy Brown to shade the red, Phoenix Red for the orange, Marigold Yellow for the yellows, and Cloudy Grey for the white. Keeping the washes from going into areas they weren't supposed to was a real pain. The pattern outlines were done with Stormy Grey (I think I'm going to need about another gallon of this stuff, it's one of my new favorite colors. I've used it on just about everything I've painted in the past few months.) The weapon barrels are done with a several coats of MSP Gunmetal Blue, another favorite of mine. The base is my usual ballast mixture painted with Apple Barrel Territorial Beige and washed with AB Brown Oxide to match the bases on the rest of the 13th Tchinn Ong. I really like Apple Barrel for base work, it's cheap so I don't feel bad about using so much of it.
Enjoy!
PS, I haven't forgotten about giving yall a review of the new rules, been having a bit of a CAVgasm the past few weeks.
: I'm using photography to my advantage here, closer picks show that not all the lines are so good. I did the lines first, just picked a spot and pulled the brush across trying to keep my hand steady as best I could.
