Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer on the 3D printed capillary towers. Honestly, I've been busy, although it has been somewhat tedious. There's not a huge amount to show because the highlights and dots are all done. I've been doing some other projects inbetween to avoid burnout, but I can't really share those yet. The Cerastus Knights do have hinged hatches though! I continued to keep track of how long it took me to paint the striations.
- Big tower 1: striations 105 minutes + dots 55 minutes = 160 minutes
- Big tower 2: striations 113 minutes + dots 66 minutes = 179 minutes
- Medium tower 1: striations 64 minutes + dots 32 minutes = 96 minutes
- Medium tower 2: striations 48 minutes + dots 28 minutes = 76 minutes
- Medium tower 3: striations 59 minutes + dots 25 minutes = 84 minutes
- Small tower 1: striations 28 minutes + dots 20 minutes = 48 minutes
- Small tower 2: striations 36 minutes + dots 22 minutes = 58 minutes
That's a grand total of 701 minutes, or 11 hours and 41 minutes on these 2nd highlights alone! I then did the 2nd bone highlights with the big ones taking about 34 minutes, the medium 22 and the small 15. Another 179 minutes [3 hours]. 😳
But, there is only the red fleshy bits left to do now [plus matt and gloss varnishes]. You can already see I've put some thinned red between the chitin plates to look like it's raw between them. It also helps define each plate. I've also highlighted the red with both Vallejo Game Extra Opaque Heavy Red and then Mephiston Red. The stretched bit will be highlighted again up to white specular highlights
similar to my Tyranid Void Shield Generator fleshy bits. Then the textured bit will have more shading added, which will be enhanced by the Tamiya Clear Red X-27. Nearly done, but you can see just how much effort it has taken.
