A little Hand Painted work in progress

This is just a little update on some of the work I have been doing and explaining/ commenting on some of the hand painted parts I have done.  These are by no means finished so there are blemishes marks etc that need cleaning up and tidying still.

The Flamethrower has had a coat of abadon black and steel painted onto it and an initial layer of strong wash from war painter   as you can see the hands need some work doing as well as the soldiers helmet needs eyes and work on the skull on his helmet.

 

I decided to hi light the tips of the legs and outer part to the shoulder guards in shining gold, these will be distressed and made duller with washes later to make them look older and more worn. 

The initial layers have been placed on this terminator captain as well as an initial wash and a little dry brushing. 

Weapon bullets hi lighted with shining gold needing a second layer of washes to darken them up a little bit.  

As you can see from the back the paint job really needs some work to clean up spills/ marks

The first layer of blood has been added on various parts of this terminator to really fit in with the fluff that comes with the carcharodon chapter, a second darker layer will be added later.

I also accented the claws with shining gold as this is the only gold colour I own right now and will need darkening using washes to make sure it doesn't stick out too much from the rest of the armor,  

My original first terminator closer to completion the base still needs work and colour touch ups to remove some of the washes that have left too darker marks.. 

Back view mainly to see the stones that I made up from little bits of air drying clay to see how they would look after placing a little fortress grey and a wash over them,  turned out pretty good I think :)

Here's another picture of the group together :)

Anyways Like I said this was just a small update not much to say about the work right now but just thought I would show some of the things I'm working on right now so any questions don't hesitate to ask.
When I'm a little bit better i'll be doing more in depth posts about individual figures but as these are some miniatures I started before I started the blog Its kind of hard to do a step by step feature but as soon as my other models arrive through the post then I will be doing a step by step feature of the making and painting of each of them to give you guys a little bit more of an insight into my process.
