Experimenting with an airbrush on nids ...

[stoiss]

Hi,

So far I have only used my airbrush for base coasting my models, but I always wanted to do a bit more with it...

At the moment I'm working on my flyrant so I figured I would a go at it.

Mind you I'm still very much a novice with this thing

First up was the wings using three different colors:




Usually it's not too hard getting a nice gradient on smaller pieces since you don't really notice the transitions on that scale, but larger areas are quite a different thing.

Next up the scything talons (a test sample) using black as a base and five colors ranging from dark red to yellow:


I'm still considering which one to go with on the final model. Any suggestions?

If you have some good ideas or examples of work done on nids done with an airbrush please post.

cheers

Beautifully done. I hope to break out my own airbrush when I get my own place to practice with it

Those claws look awesome! Makes me want to go buy an airbrush right now!

Nice work, looks really good. I'd love to get an airbrush but I have no idea where to start with them or where to store it if I buy one (I move around a lot).

I like the bottom claw better. Though what I think would look best would be a combination of the two, so the base of the claw and the top of the claw are dark, and the tip of the claw and the bottom of the claw are light. Or maybe the other way, the base and the bottom dark, with the tip and the top light.
