HPC 2014 Minotaur Airbrushing Progress

 Finally got all of the airbrushing finished on the first squad of Tactical Marines.  These marines were primed white, and then airbrushed with a base coat of Vallejo Model Air Tank Brown.  The goal was to get nice even coverage accross the entire figure for a good solid deep brown base coat












Next I took Vallejo Game Color Cobra Leather and airbrushed the figures.  The goal here was to get a good strong mid brown tone, strongest on those areas that would catch the most overhead light.  Helmet, Pauldrons, tops of the feet, knee pads etc..  Great thing about the airbrush is being able to get smooth transitions, when everything works right that is.



 And finally here is the final airbrush stage.  Using Vallejo Model Color Goldenrod I selectively airbrushed the strongest area highlights.  Once again focusing on those area that will reflect the most light.  At this stage the airbrushing is finished and I'll start working in the shading, dark lining and edge highlighting, before working on the details of the figures.
