Newly painted Phils Valk - looking for feedback

Majortusk · Post by **Majortusk** » Mon Mar 14, 2005 5:05 am

just a part of a team I am working on for Gken,

pic one is more like the regular color, for some odd reason the lighting on the rear is a little off.... hmm maybe it was just the glare

just curious what you all think.

Paint feedback: Nice work I like the green too. Did you use a white primer base? & it's pretty obvious that the second one is F'd up due to lighting.

Gken Feedback: OMG ! ! !You mean he's going to stop using Khemri eventually?!!!

looking realy nice !
I also realy like the look of the green !!
and I realy like the grey together with the green.

I only don't realy like the gold on the helmet, the "wings" are just a little to much gold together

nice work !!

Thank you, I almost never use a black primer, unless 75% of the model will be black. to me, black primer is to easy

Its like painting on easy mode for me, and I like my models looking bright. Cant really do that with Black undercoat.

I will say though, it was kinda funny when I was talking about painting asses and saying how huge they are while in the middle of a game store full of other gamers/parents/kids.

I love it! Great looking mini, although with all of that green on the uniform I might go with a black/grey/brown base instead of more green.

The Team colours look great, nice paint job. Wouldn't mind seeing a few more to look at those skin tones. As you said its probably the light reflection from the moon

Looks very nice, I do, however agree that the gold wings on the helmet makes it look a little heavy..
But the hell with it, a bit of neck-muscle and a pair of shorts for that frostbitten rear, she'll be maiming away in no time

(yes, I DID read yor note on lighting! Looks cold, thats all!

)

I like big B...

Ah Phil's Valks, How well I know thee...

Really great Job all around.

You obviously have some skill so I will give some specific critical feedback from my Valk experience.
#1 They aren't "pretty" girls per se but a little thinned down red wash or pink would be nice on the bottom lip (never the top lip unlessyou like the "clown look"). A small white line for the bottom teeth will also bring her face to life. Don't be afraid to do the eyes either.
#2 Check with Gken but you may need colored rings on the base to differentiate the blitzers. I happened to use Middenheimer cloaks on my blitzers.

Thank you, I will work on those details a little bit more. This is taking a lil bit longer than expected, but cant hurry quality.
