Blog Beardy Gekko's random assortment of things

really coming along nicely I love the colour scheme to be honest

 

So current progress is one green and one tetsucabra scheme as below. If I was trying to put an army together the tetsu would be slow going!

 

Maybe, I'm not really collecting to play any way just for painting.

 

Bit slow going with progress at the moment, I have been looking at colour schemes for the Cold Ones though as a bit of a change from just painting Saurus. As usual I'm looking at Monster hunter for inspiration and I like the look of these three different monsters:




My favourite is probably the last one, I like the subtle pink/purple and flesh tones.

Also it looks easier to achieve! As always thoughts appreciated and i'll try and get some WIPs up of one or more this week.

 

The last one looks cool, but I think the first looks cooler!
Might be because I have green saurus and a purple / pink stegadon... So blue is something new to me...
In fact I think all three would be great colours for cold ones!

 

I'd use the last colour scheme for salamanders they're practically the Jurrasic park ones anyway

 

It kind of depends on the saurus riders schemes as well, green Saurus would go well with the top and bottom ones I feel.

I also won my ebay auction for the metal skink chieftain model I really like the model so now i'll need some skinks to go with him! Maybe that can wait until pay day...

 

I may have ordered a box of skinks... and some paint. I have a problem!

 

First cold one and first time using a red primer, a novel experience! The purple is going on pretty well as a result though.

 

I also have some other photos of the WIP saurus: Which I took with the other half's phone which i think are a little better. (waiting on a lead for the digital camera)

Comments and criticisms very welcome.

 

These look awesome! Can't wait to see the cold one finished! The saurus are looking good, I really like the colour scheme you have here!

 

Yep I agree with @Bowser . If you have not decided yet on the colour scheme I´d go for the pale belly one with the jade weapons of the other. There are enough blue lizards around!

 

Yeah I really do like my 'tetsu' scheme so it will probably be that one I go with. After starting the cold one I'm struggling to see how I'll fit the colour scheme I had in mind on to it. The model isn't the best, has odd areas of blankness I've found, I might just go with a dark red and pink scales...?

 

I like the orange/blue scale combo. Also I really like how you painted the jade spear. That is something I want to try and do someday...

 

Thanks! Just various greens and a wash or two. I forget the exact combination haha.

 

Another eBay win! I love this guy, he has a proper Indian brave look about him.

 

Yeah! Old skink champions rock!

 

trying out a lighter orange base skin colour, I like it but the orange wash I tried was underwhelming. Going back to sepia or chestnut ink for the better contrast I think.
