MIG fluid ordered! Lng live Ebay! lol ^^

Oh, and just on a whim, I made a little compilation of the major painting and weathering steps. It's seemed like fun to see the evolution in one view. Those models had a slow progress over more than a year, as I don't paint thàt often. ^^

Cheers, Cassar!

And yup, the blue one. I also took the opportunity to buy some Vallejo's 500ml varnish bottles and some water effect. God only knows when I'll use that one... lol

yesterday I started with the oil paints and messed up a bit. Something went wrong with the paint/turpentine mix as it looks a bit flakey when drying out. I used a mix i had left over from the vehicles and small marines and I just added some more paint and turpentine to the little pot. After shaking like crazy for a while, it looked like the wash had mixed properly, but when drying out all the pigment went a bit grainy and looks as it just 'floated' at random over the surfaces, not clinging to the nooks & crannies as usual.

I never had that problem. And it's the same paint ànd turpentine as before... And it's not the first time either that I've kept a premade mix like that for a long period on end without using it. Really odd. I think I'm going to give the model a good rubdown with a cloth damp of turpentine and a cotton swab and try again. (lol, now read thàt sentence again from a fashion perspective).
There are also some areas of which I feel they would benefit more from an acrylic ink wash, such as the armour joints.

But for now, behold the pictures of shame!! See the horror of free roaming pigment and strange gray discoloration!

*Removed pics because I posted the post in the wrong thread. To see the pic, please proceed to the right place (Large Blood Angels Terminator).

could be grease from your hands reacting with the turpentine were you eating pizza or other greasy foods prior to handling the head? by the way it looks like it would have been epic had you not ballsed it up.........LOL Meph only playing dude i would try a little bit of ultra fine wet n dry with washing up liquid/water 60 40 mix and just gently go over the effected areas hopefully you should be able to salvage it rather than a complete restart. oh and it does look epic by the way.....have you thought about basing it, skell over at cmon would be a good one to consult plus it would wind him up no end "SPACEMARINES! you want me to help base a SPACEMARINE!....oh ok" again lol looking forward to more updates.
