I will be painting this Manatee in a yellow to dark gray gradient. I am wanting transition to be in the indented area. I have already primed this model black before I picked the color scheme. I will be using brushes and would like to do this as a drybrush.
Anyone have any tips or know of videos on learning how to do this? This is going to be the first time I have done a gradient.
Trying some ideas to get the water look realistic.
Every time I dry brush I get these chalky splotchy results. Any tips? I've switched to using a cork board instead of a paper towel and still seem to be having moisture problems.
Think I may just force myself to dry brush a ton until it clicks for me.
I had these all speed painted to table top quality for years but finally got around to finishing them up. Going to finish up the clan invasion box next!
With Hotspots: Draconis Reach releasing, I thought I’d channel my excitement by painting up a special non-canon 8th Sword of Light unit to counter my campaign players. Ssssh don’t tell them about Dai 4-sha Company, 8th Sword of Light.
Gargoyle C, Shadow Hawk IIC Standard, Phoenix Hawk IIC Standard, and White Raven 1 in cel shading. First bunch done in this style.
So much yellow 🫣
It's derpy and really not very good, but I still like the Champion. It's trying so hard, and just failing.
I don't know why I ever bought a Shootist. It's an ugly, bad design with a stupid crotch laser, and it's really hard to field since it's basically Comstar only, but at some point I did buy one.
A dapper Black Knight for the Hanseatic League.
Printed it myself. Sculpt by TreeceForge.
An ancient Crusader. One of the first mini's I bought in fact. Amazing he's survived this long, especially since he's actually lead and has the dents to prove it.

After a few months off, I'm back to painting BattleTech and very happy about it!
Stealing Arclight's Nova caT Alphas Day 5:
Finished up with some bases.
Brushed on some Vallejo earth texture, then painted it brown and wet blended in a tiny bit of scarlet for tonal variation. Dry brushed that with a lighter brown.
Added 2 different sizes of flock over 50/50 water/mod podge, then added some happy little trees, and some quartz that I rescued from my sons geode smashing project.
Photos make them look way glossier than they are, not sure how to correct that. I need to work on my photography game now.
Overall really happy with the end results, will definitely do more of this scheme in the future. It was fun to follow along with his real time painting and see how close I could get.
Minus the decals. Once the decals show up in the mail, they’ll get applied and I’ll put matte varnish on and gloss over the cockpit windows.
converted it by chopping off the LRM 5 shoulder from an arctic cheetah
