This weekend was my first chance in quite awhile to get some painting done and post new pictures. Continuing with my recent surge of interest in the Pacific Theater, I have painted up some GHQ 1/2400 Naval miniatures. The detail on these are excellent (of course, it's GHQ) although they were a little fiddly to put together... I wanted to jump out the window while putting the Akagi together. At any rate, here are a few photos:
Above: Kirishima
Above: USS Arizona
I even managed to finish painting a platoon of T-34's! Due to back problems, I'm not able to sit and paint as long as I used to... as a result these T-34's are painted using my new "fast" style painting method. Essentially I leave out some of the details and weathering so the process is faster :)
And on request... a photo to show scale.
Hope you enjoy, feedback appreciated.

As a novice, new-ish to the hobby, it's a bit depressing for me to see that your 'fast' style is better than my 'slow' style! :)
ReplyDeleteBut, seriously, your photos are wonderful and I love your clean and vivid style - you use an airbrush with a panel shaded technique don't you?
(I don't have an airbrush...yet!) Well, done. :)
Can we get a comparison shot of the figs and a reference object - I'm trying to get a sense of how badly you've broken the awesome meter ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments guys :)
ReplyDeleteStephen - I typically use an airbrush yes, although I just basecoated each of these without really taking the time to highlight panels. In the case of the ships, I actually used a Testors spray can of enamel paint rather than my airbrush.
Fireymonkeyboy - I added a reference photo above... check it out. Is this was you were looking for?

Thanks Fenton, it's good to hear from you :)
ReplyDeleteWow, some really nice ships. I'm amazed at how much detail that you can achieve on such a small scale. Is the background for the ships photoshop'ed in or is it a printed background?
ReplyDeleteI love your painting metod.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Cheers, from Portugal
