Forgotten Heroes - Slaymaster - Part 6

It's time to start painting Slaymaster!

First of all, a grey undercoat.


It may have missed a few bits. No big deal.



His costume is yellow. Dick Garrison suggests that yellow is always fun to paint, and I know what he means; a lot of yellows are horrible to use, and mine are mostly very old GW paints, which are the worst. Fortunately his costume isn't a bright yellow, and I have a rather nice Derivan 'Desert Yellow' which covers beautifully. I brushed it over the top of an orange-brown base, the brushed a brighter yellow over the top for highlights. The result is ... yellow.



I painted the belts in a darker orange-brown, and did his face the same as a base for the flesh-tone.


In the next post - the finished figure!

  1. It's all coming together beautifully and well done on the yellow - not my favourite colour to paint at all.

    1. I don't like doing small, multiple areas of yellow, but for bulk areas like this, the Desert Yellow I mention, or an orange undercoat works very well.

  2. Really good work on the yellow costume, getting good coverage with yellow is never easy. Can I ask are you going to leave him on the "klix" base or are you going to rebase him? I just ask because if so aren't you worried you'll damage him taking him of the klixy base?

    Cheers Roger.

    1. He'll be coming off the base. Should be OK. I hope :)
