The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper by Jack12477 - FINISHED - Master Box 1:24 scale


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

A little side diversion.  From the Post-apocalyptic series by Master Box, Raider Reaper in 1:24 scale. A really simple figure kit to assemble, it’s more about painting figures. I used Vallejo paints. After assembly I sprayed the figure with Tamiya's rattle can Fine Light Grey primer, then after drying I airbrushed it with Vallejo black primer. After that cured overnight, I airbrushed it again with Vallejo white primer, except this time I held the figure so I was spraying straight down with the top of his head pointed straight at the airbrush, leaving a white over black misty finish. (Sorry, no pictures, I was following a YouTube video on the technique).

Nice job Jack!!  Really well done!

 

I think the technique you used to prime the figure is called Zenithal Priming or Zenithal Highlighting.  I just came across the technique on a miniatures video myself.  I need to try it!
