    Yellow is one of the more difficult colors to get right.
    Both because it tends to not cover up very well and also because the tone of the yellow is usually extremely difficult to look realistic.
    I paint my orks primarily badmoonz, but i dont do overly beaten up rust effects because i spend so much time making the yellow look good.

    Great work dude! The other thing to remember is that painting anything it always goes through an ‘ugly stage’ I find and I usually hate the paint jobs I do on models at one point or another. The thing to do is push through and you’ll get there. I think your finished model looks good but if you wanted to do some weathering you could use a spounge to lightly add some brown chips and id also recommend playing with some weathering pigments.

I have been in the game since the late '80s, and I'm always learning a short cut or a better way to paint, as I have started to use an airbrush which has put the fun back into painting my Super heavies, I model Imperial Guard Catachan Army, hundreds of vehicles and air units, now I'm in my late 50's, so please give it go cheers from DownUnder.

  • @yuvrajahluwalia1132
    @yuvrajahluwalia1132 Před 3 lety +2

    yellow is really tricky, a nice tip is to spray the whole model white then from only underneath spray it pink so u can see pink shadows, u could use ur new airbrush for this but a spray bottle works fine, then spray yellow over the whole thing with an airbrush, as yellow is slightly transparent, the shadows come out really nicely, i have used this technique on a bad moons battle wagon and it looks great, u should definitely try this

    • @nekrataali

    Cool build. It's really amazing what you can do with these sprues. In the end the paint job looks fine to me.
    Yellow straight over black is notoriously difficult to make look good, even for a master painter. If you want to use such a bright color it's better to use another approach. There are a few options.
    - basecoat light grey or white first.
    - paint an opaque ochre craft paint before painting yellow.
    - use yellow spray paint as a base layer.
    Of course a collab with another hobbyist is also a great idea.

    Seen a bit of your stuff and decided to subscribe! Longer-term project idea: Ork Gargant... maybe take on MidwinterMinis’ Titan in a few months...

    Maybe an Ork Mek Workshop? Some kind of massive tellyporta or something like that.
    You'll have another box of plastic on its way to you as I type (ironically in an old, empty Gorkanaut box 😅)
