Just one simple phrase:
Mastering the airbrush.
Well, ok, mastery is a bit much of an overstatement; BUT, I got an airbrush like 10 years ago as a Christmas present from my brother. Every time I try to get it to work on projects; I usually wind up far too frustrated and go back to the standard bristle way of doing things.
Now, with the new Space Hulk, I wanted my terminators to rock hard. I get decent results the old brushworks; but I wanted to keep as much of the detail there so when I go to highlight and well, detail the models I wasn't working over a few thick layers of red.
And I can't stand painting 3 and 4 uber-thin layers, especially in red.
So, airbrush in hand; I kept working on it until I got the mix right, the firing right.
And a very sweet looking red basecoat.
Boo-to-the-yah!!!
