Forgemas 14; Eldar Corsair Hornet, WIP

Hi All

Bluddtoof here with another WIP post on my Eldar Corsair Hornet. This model seams to be taking forever to paint but I've finally got the yellow-white shading done on it, now it's just the green armour plating and the gems to do before a final few touches. Hopefully I'll only need a couple more weeks.

So here's a few piccies...










I'm really pleased with the shading compared to the test corsair I painted a while back, it matches well and considering the areas involved are significantly larger it looks ok. In total it's made from 14 shades; starting with averland sunset through yriel yellow to flash gitz yellow then adding more and more white to flash gitz til I got a just off white for the final edging. The pilots seat I stopped at shade number 11 cos I was happy with the colour. I think it's come out a little more lemony than the corsairs weapon, see here for the relevant post, and I like it, the trick now will to remain consistent across the rest of the army. Eventually there'll be a Revenant Titan in these colours! That'll be a challenge, I may need to invest in an airbrush at that point.

Next step is the green plating with its yellow highlighting.
Hope you like it so far, c and c welcome as always. More to come soon.....

Forgemas 14; Eldar Corsair Hornet, WIP

Hi All

Just a quick update on the WIP of my Eldar Corsair Hornet; I've done most of the metallic bits, I decided to go a little darker than I'd originally tried on the test corsair, I'll see what I think once it's done as to whether I stick with it for the rest of the army.
Currently working on the yellow to bone white shading sections of the model, it's a long process, what you see below comprises 5 shades getting respectively lighter from a base of GW averland sunset, when finished it will shade right down to a bone white as on the muzzle of the test figures shuriken cannon.
You can see the post of the original test figure here.

That's it for now, more to come soon.
