Still WIP and I know Ultramarines 'can' be perceived as a bit boring, but let me know what you think.

I think they look good. Did you use spray paint or an airbrush to add the highlight effect?
ReplyDeleteRon, FTW
Thanks Ron, they were initially primed a very dark grey and then airbrushed 'zenithally' with 4 shades of increasingly lighter blues (After this stage everything was applied by bristle brush)
DeleteAfter the airbrush stuff was dry they got a very dilute blue glaze all over.
Next up was a single coat for the black and metallic areas followed by a very dark blue, almost black wash all over but concentrating on the darkest areas and recesses.
Finally I mixed up a very light blue for the uppermost highlights and took some time to get the lenses the way I wanted.
Just finishing off the details now so I'll hopefully be able to post up the results soon.
