Nice things occured as well. Had bought the Vallejo Oily Steel and Transparent Orange paints that I liked a lot. That Orange together with Warpaints Pure Red (highlighted with a little Off White) formed the basis of the bright orange areas, while mixed with some Fuegan Orange it was used as a wash for ALL the reds, oranges and metals. Because the whole model was so overpoweringly red/orange, the Athonian Camoshade wash on the base provided much needed contrast. Gonna add a bit more green/teal somewhere later on.
Still have to pick out some details (bronze items, skin/fur/bone and whatnot). Was thinking about adding the traditional black & white checker pattern or flames, but have no idea where they would fit. Also bought some weathering powders, which I've never used before!
And btw here are my much beloved brushes that I use for pretty much everything. Did the edges on red areas with the Standard Brush (that's in a lot better shape than these), and final details will likely get attention from Fine/Insane Detail Brushes. So all praise to the Springer Pinsel Synthetic 5 (I guess?), Army Painter Small Drybrush (on the left) & Regiment brushes (the middle one). I remember using this particular Regiment Brush to do all the finest of details a year ago. Back then it had around three or four a bit longer and protruding bristles right in the middle, so was just perfect for that kind of work.
