Fire Wings w/ mounted Beelphegor Part 12

Time to start painting...

So for this project, I decided to start with the base. I have a specific vision in mind for how I want the base to look, so I'm going to begin here to ensure that I can tie everything in together in the end. And as far as the theme of the project goes, the base is a pretty important element in the story.

I started with the base primed in gray using DupliColor automotive primer. After getting a nice even base using a couple of coats of the primer, I then washed the entire base with the Nuln Oil shade from Citadel. The whole washing process took a little bit of time so that I could makes sure that I got everywhere and that it covered pretty evenly.

Next I did a couple drybrush passes using Frostbite from P3, as seen below:

And another drybrush pass using Morrow White from P3 and you can see the results below:

The initial drybrush passes were meant primarily to pull out the detail after the wash and the final drybrush pass was meant to reinforce the overall highlights even more. Overall these were just the initial set up steps for the base and all of this will soon be covered up with the actual colors that will make up the final base.

To be continued...
