thanks mate, one more question, when washing, how do you get a nice smooth finish on vehicles?
Gaz
I don't tend to wash vehicles. The wash "pools" and looks blotchy.
Garfy,
Been following your angels for some time and am attempting to follow your tute. With vehicle's / drop pod, how much of the edge in Moot Green did you do? mine dont seem to pop quite like yous.
cheers mate, Love the work
Gaz
Hi Gaz, thanks for following mate.
I'll try to be as clear as possible, but I'm struggling to word this.
Normally with a sharp vehicle edge highlight you would load up your brush with paint and use the side of the brush dragged along the edge usually the brush is at a 45º angle to the edge. Well what I did to get a thicker, more impactful highlight edge was I started out by doing the 45º side of the brush edge highlight, then I repeated the step with the side of the brush but at a sharper angle like 20º so it caught more the the side of the edge, then i flipped it over and did the other side of the edge at 20º. This still gives you a nice straight line but it allows me to thicken the line up a bit.
If I wanted to go over it with a final edge highlight something closer to white then I could and it would still leave enough moot green showing through. I didn't though because I want to paint armies not waste time on unnecessary highlights no one is going to notice.

I really like the way you've done the highlights. Most often when people go for such sharp highlights on green it just looks really cartoony to my eyes but you've managed to pull it off admirably.
Looks Great! I have 10 of these on my table right now, 3 for my Wolves and 7 for my Imperial Fists so they definitely win the most tedious models award at this point! I am not going to edge highlight like you did however, I would lose my mind. Will stick with the preshading I did and hope it looks good enough.
But the results are worth it! Sharpest looking drop pod I've ever seen. Inspires me to treat mine with more care!
