Water is one of those funny things it always adds a lot but is very hard to get right & besides as funny as this might sound there are all kinds of it & different colours as well.
Looks ok from here let take a closer look shall we ?
Perhaps a bit to green though I have seen water similar in colour i also like the reflection of the rock-face adds more realism to things.
I think this colour maybe works better from a lower angle where it looks less green, who said the camera never lies ?
Without a doth it works much better at a lower angle, how about blue ?
A good start, lets rise up a bit.
Not bad but the problem I'm having is the consistences of the colour, lets try it a bit higher.
Holds up well I guess, I don't know about you guys but I think the blue is working out better over all, but either is exceptionable & it might be a case of what I'm looking for though I will be trying some other things so stay tuned.
Now part two, every-bodies favourite bad guys Nazis, just after Christmas I
picked up some of these guys in a sale on warlord games their from boltaction a good game btw but not one I'm looking at getting into, I just felt that at sometime I'd need Nazis & at about 50p a model they weren't going to break the budget .
I've since made up the rest of them I think there's about 28 in total, there was a few lying down but I didn't bother with them tbh.
Anyway with the makeup & wardrobe department's been so busy these day's I've decided to outsource them, you see Alan in the clue who unlike me loves painting is also a big WWII nut, so I asked him if he'd like to paint them up & he said he would, it'll make a nice change from 40K stuff I guess.
I've got to say I'm impressed with these models as there's a lot of detail on them & lots of stuff to add on if you want.
That's a rap, as always my thanks for dropping in & if you'd care to leave a comment it would be welcomed.
Pulp ain't Pulp without some Nazis! The water looks good in all the pics...but if I had to choose I would go with the later blue.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gordon, yep like I said everyone's favourite bad guys & in pulp there has to be bad guys.
DeleteI like both water variations. The nazis look fun to put together too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill,I think it might come down to the setting & yes the Nazis's where enjoyable to put together.
DeletePersonally I think you nailed the color - perfect for a tropical setting imho! I know the photos will always be different from seeing it in person, but I love that second photos color :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivor,I know what you mean about the photo's but tbh in this case I don't think they changed much, as I said at the top of the post water comes in many forms so it really a case of what your looking for at the time I guess.
DeleteI slightly prefer the green water, but part of that is context. Inland water tends to reflect the bottom, so algae/mud.
ReplyDeleteHonestly though both the green an blue look great.
...and Nazi cannon fodder for cheap is a true win.
Thanks Will, I'll have to look at trying a muddish colour to see what that does, yep the cheap Nazis's was a no brainer mate.
ReplyDeleteNice I think I prefer the greeny water very effective, but in Africa most water is actually brown 🙂
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, I'm going to have to see what I can do with brown but not really sure how to go about it tbh, but that's half the fun right ?
ReplyDeleteWonder when the Nazis will show up Franko ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Doc, Who knows but their painted now so.
