CabDriver Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Here's a fun little resin piece that I picked up - I figured it would be fun to show the steps I'm doing to paint this...despite it only being one piece there's gonna be a decent amount of work in getting this painted really nicely I think! There's also going to be a lot of waiting for paint to dry so this won't be the most action packed thread, but I did the first couple of steps at least so here goes... First up, I gave this thing a GOOD wash with some Dawn dishsoap. There's a lot of little nooks and crannies for mold release to get stuck in and I didn't want any surprises when it came to painting and masking this thing. Then, I shot with some Walmart grey primer, checked and cleaned a couple of little mold separation lines and so on and then shot with Createx white sealer as a base color: Next, I thinned down some Createx opaque black (that stuff seems to take forever to dry if you don't), and added some shadow detail in the places where shadow would naturally fall: And on the back too! As you can see, there's a tonne of little details that you can give some attention to on this - the skull guy's tongue hanging out, the hand's nails, the various rings, the stitches on the hand...lots of detail to mess with! It's a really nicely done piece! Once the black had dried, I thinned out some clear yellow and built up at bone-color tint to the skull. The clear yellow will allow the black shading to show through still, but I also like to build up the yellow some more in the darker areas and leave it a little lighter in the high spots: I'm not worried about getting some yellow on the hand at this point - the entire skull part will be masked off when I'm done with it so I can paint the hand separately...I think the hand is going to be a creepy Frankenstein green of some shade perhaps? Anyway... more soon, hope this wasn't boring so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPNM Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 This is a very interesting project. Not something I would attempt but you are off to a good start. I look forward to seeing your progress. If you don't mind my asking, what airbrush are you using for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind my asking, what airbrush are you using for this? Just a regular $10 no-name gravity feed one from Chinese eBay, with my cheapie $50 Amazon compressor - nothing fancy! Did a little more on this today - shot the monster hand with some Createx pearl purple (after some 'fun' masking...): Then hit it with some Createx pearl blue: And finally, a little mist of Createx lime green pearl to make it look a little rotten at the bottom: More soon!
