I decided that my blog was in need of a change, this time I decided that white is in order as the main color because my Tau are going to use it as the armor, so you are going to see a lot of it.
Hey Flekk, for snow you could try the sprinkled baking soda trick, that seems to be really popular. Well, you have to apply it over something-
Fichtenfoo has used variations, sometimes on damp matte overcoat, sometimes on PVA glue, here http://fichtenfoo.net/blog/tag/snow/ for further reading.
@Jose I have prepped myself with a nice big jar of baking soda. I did a quick test on top of a cap with a mix of PVC glue, water, and baking soda and finished it off with a sprinkle. Turns out it looks great, but it was real brittle and easy to ruin.
I like the matte medium + sprinkle better. Might try that next time instead:) Ended up with two other projects before my lone Tau suit so I have some extra thinking and testing time.
nice! I like it better. Needs more tau though haha
ReplyDeletewait a bit it is coming and it is coming in force.
ReplyDeleteI like it. Only thing I'd do would be to give the logo picture a shadow similar to the other boxes.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Tau and snow, I'm trying to come up with a way to make awesome looking snow bases. Maybe I will come up with something one day :)
thanks to both of you, about the color I think that an snow themed base is not what I really want. let me see about it.
