Jack12477 Posted December 10, 2022 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2022 (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).

Landlubber Mike Posted December 23, 2022 Share #7 Posted December 23, 2022 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! popeye the sailor, Egilman, Jack12477 and 4 others 6 1 Quote Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.
