Hi everyone I am back! Such a short break is it? Well this time around it's finally brush to miniature (instead of pen to paper) with my diorama! We can finally moved on from the base to the miniatures!
The ferret hasn't been painted yet but the remotes are pretty much done! We'd need to put on the final highlights depending on the over all looks of the set up, but for now they are pretty much ready. Took a lot shorter than I thought.
So, this is how we started, we spray painted the primer on and used dark and light paint air brushing to get the shadows and lighting right. Although they actually look better with just the dark and light air-brushing, I believe some day I would be just as good with the lighting effect... I'd just have to understand color and paint mixing better...
I am following a color scheme that I found on line, instead of using the box art. I am planning to use the same blue-red-khaki color scheme on Sophie... when I finally get to paint her this week..
I had applied a very focused and careful wash to the recesses of the ferret, and all its features got a lot more apparent. Again, well done Reaper for such a fine tiny metal miniature. (yes, metal, not BONES ;) )
The fun part, I guess, is to place them on to the base. I learned the hard way that all these elements are suppose to be pinned, not just glued, to the base. So what I did is I drilled a bigger hole, put green stuff in the hole, and press the pin to the green stuff, with a bit of glue to its feet.
And of course, the whole point of the base is to let the Remote lock gaze with the Ferret. so I had to check several times that their gaze met.
Notice how I haven't took a close up shot of them? that is because I haven't really completed painting them so I am saving the close up shots for later :)

Learning from my mistake, this time the 'light' paint isn't purely white but actually it's a light purple. That is because painting whitish color is hard for me as I tend to over paint it. So with this air-brushed light pink it could bring out the whitish highlight color easier.
