To the way back machine once again, this time for something I have only ever painted once so far. This was part of a batch of Micronauts ships. Really tiny buggers!
Knowing what I do now, it would have been WAY easier to do.
It would be way easier to glue the pieces together now, and it certainly would be easier to paint. I have learned so much about glazing ans such... those sails would be a lot easier, and have more depth.
I would also do more to reflect the 'ocean' colors on the sails... like this painting that I did many years ago :-)
I had fun making the water effects, done with sculpey. I put the nameplate on there so that we could interchange the names of the ships... I couldn't resist having some fun with a crazy name. ;-)
Sailing away!!! I do look forward to trying more of these in the future! Stay tuned.
That is a lovely looking ship. Really like the base. HMS Shagadelic-if only!! With names like that I would probably be more interested in naval gaming!
ReplyDeleteHe he... or with names like that, would you get more navel gazing? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWater looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Looking forward to doing more of that as well, testing out some newer techniques.
