Apart from that, no complaints really overall a good model to assemble and paint.
I decided to go for Forge Worlds own painting guide with a slight twist.
For what is effectively a black model, it is somewhat more complicated than it may look!
Undercoated black, then i used Humbrol Metal cote to lightly work up the highlights towards the edges and raised areas.
The whole model was then airbrushed with Tamiya smoke with a tiny bit of Tamiya clear yellow mixed in, it gives a kind of oily sheen.
After he dried, i airbrushed Druchi violet wash in random spots here and there, aiming mostly for the larger plate areas.
Next i airbrushed thinned Tamiya clear green over the other colours.
After drying, i then airbrushed more Tamiya smoke over the whole model.
Then i varnished him with Vallejo matt varnish.
The brass parts i used old Citadel Beaten copper mixed with boltgun metal, washed with Agrax earth shade and then highlighted with beaten copper in "striking motions to create a chipped and weathered apperance" - not my words!
The face was painted in my own style, most painters have their own tech and colours. Mine is mostly bleached bone, with a mud brown wash and some violet wash. Highlighted with bleached bone and Vallejo white.
I am waiting for the decal set from Forge World - hence the lack of icons.
I magnetized the servo arm so it can be repositioned, it also protects it from breakage.
I am working on some more Iron Hands marines - will share here when there is more progress!
Thanks for reading (:
