I have a Terminator bust to paint so I thought I'd take some pics and document it. I'm not the greatest painter and take a lot of inspiration from these and other boards, (Josh of Small Studios in particular) I can't paint as well as some, but I'm learning
First off I prepped the bust for painting and drilled the eye out ready for the LED. Then I primed the bust with Hafords' grey car primer, and airbrushed the skin with Winsor and Newton Pale Teracotta. I've tried mixing my own flesh but it came out pretty disasterous.
Next I lightened it all up by drybrushing with Dale and Rowney Buff Titanium.
I airbrushed the face lightly with Tamiya Red Brown XF-64 and also gave the hair a base coat of the same.
Next up was a light airbrush of the skin and lips with Tamiya Red X-7 and I also filled in the big scrape on the head.
Airbrushed the jacket with Tamiya Black X-1.
Next I wanted to lighten and texture the hair a bit, so I tried starting with a dry brush of Tamiya Flat Earth XF-52, followed by Tamiya Wooden Deck Tan XF-78.
I thought that had taken it up a bit too much so I lightly airbrushed with the Tamiya Red Brown again to bring it back down a touch.
The skin looked a little light so I drybrushed with a little more Pale Terracota.
