The white I've finally settled on is Reaper's HD one. It's actually good, which brings it up a mile from GW's whites and even the other alternatives out there (Vallejo, AP, etc). Also loving the Good Boy!Azazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808623224533680043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6848887109592588663.post-25207204353004846822019-01-05T07:17:00.095-08:002019-01-05T07:17:00.095-08:00Thanks!

The difference in difficulty between the two of them is way less than that between either of them and any other colour, tho.<br /><br />I've never really settled on one way or another, either. I've had both ways work out well for the overall project, and both work out poorly, too.WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221228665636182019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6848887109592588663.post-89840385912096081162019-01-05T07:05:55.194-08:002019-01-05T07:05:55.194-08:00Thanks!

Prond could also use a little more shading in places, but there's so much fine detail around most of those spots that the risk/benefit analysis doesn't look good. Nitsch's suit looks great in person, tho.WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221228665636182019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6848887109592588663.post-44267101376737178502019-01-04T07:01:26.980-08:002019-01-04T07:01:26.980-08:00White is by far the WORST color to work with, GW&#...White is by far the WORST color to work with, GW's especially! Vallejo's white is much easier to work with though still no picnic. These are looking pretty good though. <br /><br />As for which one to do first when testing a new color scheme, there's no rhyme or reason to my methods, meaning equal shares of grunts and leaders get 1st crack at a new color scheme.Da Masta Cheefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941441877537371502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6848887109592588663.post-70478595355227325242019-01-04T05:05:28.333-08:002019-01-04T05:05:28.333-08:00Nipples shaper than her sword - LOL.

I'd have been afraid of mucking that up as well but you pulled it off.<br /><br />My only criticism is the lack of contrast on the white. White, somewhat ironically I guess, should have more contrast/depth than any other color we paint. I like to work up from something very dark, like Eshin Grey, go through the greys and then white highlights. <br /><br />Alternatively, a good old wash of Nuln Oil does the trick and then you highlight in white.<br /><br />Some of it may be your lighting in the shots too. Looks a bit bright.Thorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437070475561268098noreply@blogger.com
