Orinoco’s Occasional Forge Fathers Project

All the usual methods that have been previously used in this project were used again here.  Was tempted to do the chest piece in bronze, but thought it would be too much bling.

The Valkyr had been sitting partially painted for a while.  I used the same methods as before (See Ingulf) for the green, purple and metallics.

The tyres are Panzer Dark Grey (Vallejo Model Air) drybrushed with Pale Sand (Vallejo Model Color).

I re-highlighted the skin with mixtures of Dark Skin Tone (Vallejo Game Color) and Barbarian Flesh (Army Painter).

If I can find/paint the rest of my bikes I might put some sort of symbol on the front armour plate.

Same method as in the Ingulf post, with the exception that the Bright Bronze was applied on top of Gunmetal Grey.  Going for a purple glow effect rather than crystal lenses.  Pale Sand was dry brushed on the track to try and dust it down a bit.

The Helfather had been sitting base coated in Royal Purple (Vallejo Game Color) for a while, so I drybrushed it with Pale Sand (Vallejo Model Color) and layered it with, Tan Earth (Vallejo Model Air), Barbarian Flesh (Army Painter) and Ice Yellow (Vallejo Model Color).

Some old Plasma Red  Citadel Ink was then applied over the layers.

The problem with the ink I used was it was very water soluble, so when I varnished I ended up with spotting in areas as it reactivated.  Some matt varnish mixed with the ink might stop this happening.

The only difference for the metallics from the previous entries (See Ingulf) is that the Bright Bronze was applied on top of Gunmetal Grey to lighten it a bit more.

The green glow uses the same technique as the previous purple but with Daler Rowney light green ink instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOCaK3H-EmM

I’ll post the other stuff I’ve painted recently in the next few days rather than in one batch.
