And then put some undercoat on the fliers and other models. This is an all over coat of grey primer, followed by Zenithal undercoat - black shot on the underside of the models and a thin white coat shot from the top down. I've never done this before, but it's intended to show through the top coat so that you get a more natural shading of the model colours. I remain to see if this affects my painting.
All the models here other than the fliers are from Old Crow Models.
At first I thought these were computer renders. I'll be interested to see how it impacts your painting!
ReplyDeleteIm not sure if that's a good thing or not lol:-)
ReplyDeleteAgree - first reaction was ..is..that a render..? Lovely stuff and great too see the flyers come together.
ReplyDeleteI have in the part used this 'zenith' painting style - I think it works, but not to the extend that I would use it every time.
ReplyDeleteHave you read about Colour Modulation? There is a very good article by Frazer Grey in the latest Military Modeller Special Issue. I think the Old Crow models with their flat surfaces would be a great project to try this painting scheme out on.

I'm going to try and replicate the colour scheme I created a few years back...

Because it's a three colour camo style modulating the panels would be pretty difficult.
You're right though, the angular nature of the vehicles would be good for the modulation technique
That was a few more than a few, I'm afraid...
DeleteGood scheme though!!
