A quick update on the shields; all the blue edging is painted in, and I've washed the new paintwork with satin varnish wth a little blue ink mixed, to give it depth. Unfortunately, the flash has taken out the detail in the photo; the shields are starting to look very good, in real life. 2-3 sessions more work is needed; bosses tomorrow, I hope.
In answer to today's questioners, I've been using my fingers to hold them, rather than sticking them to a base. Whilst being painted, the curved shields rest neatly over my left index finger, which is now Porcelain Blue, and lightly varnished.
These are coming along great Bigred. Looking forward to seeing the end product.
ReplyDeleteThose look great! Cant wait to see them when complete and in hands!

ReplyDeleteThanks Phil; hoping to post some new photos later tonight, or tomorrow, of the finished unit.
