Bloodthirster; update 2

Not much new on the Bloodthrister. I have painted the red on the head and hands as well as gotten some metal on to the axes. The horns are not quite done yet but I am getting there. I have also attached it to the base so that I don't risk as much hipping handling it. It still lacks some armour, the wrist and thigh guards as well as the belt buckle and the loin cloth. I originally planed to use the full armour set that comes with the model but the more I am working with it I am getting convinced that I should keep the armour to a minimum. After I am done with the head I will go on to the wings which will take forever as they are so big that I will have to paint them one side at a time and four applications to each, adding up to 16 sessions.

Bloodthirster; WIP

So, the next project is a Bloodthrister. As usual it is not a straight out of the box build but I am not telling what I changed yet. So far I have painted the body and will now start with the head and hands. I choose a darker, almost brown red tone for the skin instead of the bright red of the original. I think this gives it a more believable skin tone. I have also keep the other colours in the brown read scale except the bone to keep a cohesive palette. So far I am happy with the result, the model is very textured so it is easy to get the drybrush to look good but it is easy to miss areas as there are so much detail. Well that is it for now.
