Miniature Painting: BattleTech: Raven by AceDarkfire on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

I have two others I did before this messing around with AP Speed Paints.

I have a Victor that looks not too bad, having used a gray primer with some Dry Brushing of white to do some pre-highlights. . . not like it helped THAT much.

I have a Warhammer that was primed in White. . . and is a bright red, and it looks horrible because I have a habit of trying to intricately paint intricate details, and SpeedPaints don't lend themselves too much to "perfect coverage," so it looks a bit sloppy. Not the worse I've ever seen. . . but eh.

And then there's this Raven. I skipped priming the miniature, instead just cleaning it off with 91% IPA, doing a Dry-Brush run of White (which had more effect on the top of it than anywhere else), and then globbing on the red, letting it dry, then adding the black. Then doing some color-fixing with some Dry Brushed Pure Red. There's still some touch ups to do, and those will happen. . . but I most likely won't take a picture. . . or 4. Not quite what some of the things I've seen people paint, but I feel I'm inching closer to making some really good painted miniatures.

The Mixed-paint for the cockpit tacked up a lot before I had much of a change to apply it, so the cockpit looks funky, which comparing the miniature in person to the close-up of the camera is a problem you'll notice if you look too closely. (Suggestion: Don't do that).
