Blues got me!

Painted my 2nd white metal treasure, and I got to tell you. I remember now, why I did not continue painting these guys twenty years ago.

Too much blue is making me blue.

The primary color is Dark Prussian Blue by Vallejo on a black rattle can auto primer. Not sure if you do, but I tooth brush the primer after it dries. Just to smooth it. If the miniature part is really large and flat I will use a sanding stick. I never did this back in the day.

All these technics I learned from watching miniature painters on you tube.

If I had known 20 years ago to zenithal. I would have done that to my first guy. I did not do that to this 2nd guy.

Wanting the unit to be the same hue.

I’m thinking though, all 70 marines, cannot be this hue.

Let me say this. I am not an award-winning miniature painter, and if that is your goal there are better sites for you to go to.

However, if you just want motivation to get a part of your army done. I hope I can motivate you to do so.

Although I do not use a wet pallet, I do mix my colors with a drop of GW technical contrast medium. Now I do.

Before that man it was just straight paint.

This 2nd guy is as dark as the first guy because no zenithal. I am thinking my first 10 guys will be like this, and the second group of 10 will have zenithal.

I got a primaris assault guy in the works. He has zenithal using Dark Prussian blue.

Stay tuned.

I like these back packs more than the newer ones.

I am thinking I need to add more color. Edge the black knife? Green the laurel?

Stay tuned for more.
