Pathfinder Unit Complete

Pathfinders unit is finally complete! A paint scheme change midway through my first model and the constant battle with painting white caused me to take longer than expected. Was also not sure as to whether or not I was going to do camo on them. It really depended on how well I could pull it off. Thankfully, I was satisfied with the result.

Ooh, and better camera means better pics!

Okay, now on to some vehicles...

Pathfinders WIP II - Le Camo

Painting continues on my unit of Pathfinders. These three are pretty much near completion. Just need a wash on the cloth, some highlighting on said cloth, and then a touch up on any overbrushing/washing that results.

As you can see, I'm doing camo on the coat. I wasn't very satisfied with my first attempt but after consulting with a friend and making some adjustments it went much better. Turns out larger blotches and lighter colors were much more effective at getting decent-looking snow camo. Hooyah!

Pathfinders WIP

Painting has begun on my unit of Pathfinders. Here you can see an almost finished test model.

I undercoated dark areas with a 3:1 mix of VGC (Vallejo Game Color) Falcon Turquoise and VGC Chaos Black. For the armor I used VGC Falcon Turquoise and for the cloth and rifle barrel VGC Dead White. The 'leather' areas I'm doing with a Khemri Brown undercoat followed by a VGC Khaki overcoat. Finally I did VGC Gory Red for the gems' undercoat. Highlights are up next.

I went through one other iteration of the scheme before I settled on this one. Rather satisfied with the result and will be doing the entire unit like this.
