Kevin Smith<p>The elementals are based and their bases have stripes. The front and back faces are all glossed and ready for applying 45 decals to finish things off.</p><p>The elementals didn't fit as nicely onto the bases as I'd hoped. I used one set from one base to make all of the indentations on all the bases and the paint also made their feet bigger, and their footprints smaller. Still, I got them in place.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>battletech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/miniaturepainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>miniaturepainting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ClanJadeFalcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClanJadeFalcon</span></a></p>
Kevin Smith<p>Started on the stripes for the front face. The elementals have had an oil wash and the bases are speedpainted, shimmered, and edged. The frosty shimmer on the snow is a fine white mica flake mixed with matte varnish. I've applied it to the mech bases as well. It doesn't show too well in photos but in person it gives a nice shimmery sparkle that feels in scale.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>battletech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/miniaturepainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>miniaturepainting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ClanJadeFalcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClanJadeFalcon</span></a></p>
Kevin Smith<p>Mounted on their bases. Still need to do the decals and other details on the base edges. I can't find my masking tape so I need to get more to do the stripes on the front.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/miniaturepainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>miniaturepainting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>battletech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ClanJadeFalcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClanJadeFalcon</span></a></p>
Kevin Smith<p>I wasn't happy with the green bits so I glazed and edge highlighted with jade green. Then glossed, decals, more gloss, and then did an oil wash, unfortunately I didn't put enough varnish over the decals and wrecked some of them that I had to replace.</p><p>The oil wash was with Van Dyke Brown which turned out nicer than the mix of Lamp Black and Burnt Umber I used for the first batch.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/miniaturepainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>miniaturepainting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>battletech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/clanjadefalcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clanjadefalcon</span></a></p>
Kevin Smith<p>4 colour winter camo scheme complete. I brushed on the Runic Grey stripes with a #2 brush this time instead of stippling with a coarse brush</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/miniaturepainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>miniaturepainting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>battletech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/clanjadefalcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clanjadefalcon</span></a></p>
Kevin Smith<p>Sculpted the snow drift bases for the second and third stars of my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ClanJadeFalcon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClanJadeFalcon</span></a> trinary. The minis are all articulated and mostly cleaned up. I decided to get the bases sculpted before starting to paint the minis this time. Cleaning the clay off their feet didn't damage the paint last time, but it's better not to risk it.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/miniaturepainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>miniaturepainting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>battletech</span></a></p>
