Well i had more time to work on my Denny, so i tidied up the purple on her skirt and the skin tones. Then i continued with the NMM grey on her armour and added gold nmm trim to parts of her armour. Im quite happy with the model at the moment, need to add highlights to the blades on her backpack thingy and paint her weapon too. Shouldn't take me too much longer.

Ok since im still thinking about this OSL on my defiler, i decided to move onto another model. Deneghra seemed like a nice one to move onto so i wanted to keep her having a dark feel, so i used toned down NMM on the armour plates and i will try and keep that effect throughout the model's armour. The skirt i wanted to it to be a dark colour but also a contrast to the rest of the model. I think it works really well, maybe the blending could be a bit smoother but nothing a nice wash could help....

Right i repainted all the grey areas, i think its looking alot better. I tried OSL on the base and parts of the legs and im not sure i did well with it, any comments would be greatly appreciated. Im in 2 minds at the moment one is that it doesn't look too bad but the other is saying i shouldn't do this technique until im a bit more sure of it. :o

Ok i've had a long day and im so knackered but really happy, i passed my "interview" (or the technical term is viva) today for my PhD so yay im happy. So getting back i wanted to finish my model but i didn't want to rush it either.

I redid the grating around the feet, i wanted a smoother blending on them and im much happier with the end result. Then i painted the gold on the gun and the skull. Then finished off the gun and as an added effect i tried out some rust effect around the rivets. Im not sure whats missing with the rust effect but there is something missing with it. Maybe i'll do the OSL on the floor and the bulk of the body later tomorrow. Anyway bed time for me comments are very welcome. I think it is still missing something, but its close to being finished :)

I hate leaving models incomplete, so i finished off the plates of amour at the side keeping it a dark colour and scheme. Once i was happy with the blending i started work on the gold nmm. Started with a dark brown and then a lighter brown, then i added small amounts of yellow and then some white. Working this up i managed to get a nice smooth blend then black spotted the bits i covered on the vent around the gun. Im happy with the end effect, might need a bit of cleaning up at the edges. Almost done, will finish the rest tomorrow. ...
