More Steampunk from Russia
It has been quite a while that I painted something. Today I finished two more of Ratnik Miniatures crazy Steampunk minis. I like the diver, he reminds me of the Bioshock Big Daddys. Unfortunatly I´m too stupid to get a better pic of him.
Hi Dimi, I use Humbrol gloss 35 and than Rustin´s Matt varnish for this very matt finish. Rustin´s is a little bit tricky to use, but the results are worth it. You can order it from Miniaturicum.
Ah, yes... I remember Rustin's. Too fussy for my taste. But great results on the miniatures.
I am using Daler Rowney Matt Varnish with similar results, but since my Russian sailor I feels it's been rubbing off quite easily... It's a bit annoying.
I´m a wargamer, terrain maker and painter. My favourite scale is 28mm, mostly historicals with a preference for any kind of civil war. I don´t know why.
Hey Lt.! I am so glad to see more of your miniatures. I see VSF/Steampunk has gripped you. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat work with these. I really like your black highlighting on the top one.. Minimalistic and effective.
Out of curiosity... how do you varnish your miniatures?
