Iguana 12 - The base



Painting the blue lights on the ground will have an undesirable side effect: I should put reflections inthe parts of the models that touch them...

Iguana 11 - Back on track (sort of)

 I applied some glazes of Prussian Back + Black on the "metalic" parts.







 With Pale Grey Blue and White, I blended the colours around the lights of the helmet.

 And I did the same with the head of the Iguana.




As for te bases, I started the tedious process of highlighting everi f*cking hexagon using Amaranth Red and Clear Orange. I painted a few hexagons with Pale Grey Blue. These will become the floor lights in the future.

Iguana 10 - Losing control

 It is very difficult for me to draw a straight line using a brush. Those triangles on the legs are transfers, by the way.
 The red lines will require a lot of extra work...







 The lights of the head are totaly out of control. They wil have to be corrected.

Iguana 09 - Lines and lights


 So, I started painting the lines with Dark Red. I really suck at freehand...




 This is what I meant. I had to erase a line because is was askew. It took 4 layers to make the red look really red. Finally, I applied a layer of Flat Red.
 The center of each LED received a layer of Yellow first, then White. Around every light I painted a narrow line of Yellow.





 The head... the head is giving me trouble. Those lights just don't work. I will try to solve this problem another day.
