Hi folks,
I have been steadily plugging away at my DreadTober project, as I try to achieve some consistency with my hobby time (even if it is just a little bit every day). So far, I have focused on the small parts of the sub-assembly, including the head, claws and legs.
One thing I have noticed, which others have long mentioned, Seraphim Sepia is a hot mess to work with. Back when I devised this paint scheme with my mate Joel, Seraphim Sepia was beautiful to work with. A couple of generous coats on the model would be looking great. Now, it pools weird and has a gloss finish. I also get the sense that it is reactivating in weird ways. I have had to adapt my approach, painting very very thin layers and drying quickly with a hairdryer between layers. It is time consuming as heck; I am glad I don't have many Nids left to paint for that collection.
Anyway, I managed to finish off a rough conversion for the termagant as well, so that it is carrying a collection-relevant Devourer instead of a Fleshborer. I am thinking about doing some blood effects around the newborn Nid, I'll see how brave I am feeling.
Even though I "only" have the body to go, it feels like I have only scratched the surface on this model. We'll see what the next week brings...
See you across the table,
Marc
