    Red face A small preview of my Valkyrie

    Just a tiny preview of the internal superstructure of my Valkyrie. If you want i can keep you posted / updated with my progress on this model? To create the oil stains I first painted black, then brown lines and then used Army Painter Shader/ dip medium and brushed it on, then wiped it off after about 3 to 5 minutes. Bewarned though Army Painter shader or dip is very sticky....I hope in the mean time you like what you see.

    Good stuff mate.Yeah, the applying of sludge and then wiping it off is highly underrated. It's how I achieve the easiest and best bronze look. Paint bronze, apply Vallejo's smokey ink (which is always kinda thick), and then rub it off with my thumb.

    Thank you Meph for the kind comment(s). Do you play historical as well? Because that is a neat way for Bronze helmets for Ancient armies such as Greek, Macedonian etc.

    I haven't painted anything historic for many a year I'm afraid, mainly sci)fi and fantasy. Oh, and a decoration on friends' toilet door. ^^

    Very nicely painted, though I have never been much for painting on the sprue myself, I have found there are just too many weird sprues. I will sometimes paint pieces seperate, but usually that is off the sprue myself. Looks awesome.

    Nice interior. I did both of my Vend/Valk = lots of work with no real payoff. How often is someone going to see the interior?
