Paint Diary #3 [KD:M Phoenix] – Colorful and fun take on a huge model
over 2 years ago
– Fri, Sep 17, 2021 at 06:43:15 PM
I'm back with one final paint diary! I really wanted to use a good deal of our paints to show off how well they work together across the sets. This model is huge and took me about a week to assemble and paint. It's definitely an ambitious color scheme, but it was done using entirely simple and accessible techniques. I had a lot of fun with it and I hope you like seeing the step-by-step.
100% of the paints, washes, and paint accessories used are referenced and available during this Kickstarter campaign. You can scroll to the bottom if you just want to see the finished model.

Paints thinned using our Flow Improver for use in an airbrush
Key ingredients for thinning our paints to use them in an airbrush. The slow keeps the paints from drying in the cups while I switch between colors.
Initial base coat. Looking pretty cool already!
Colors for the skin, claws, and beak.
All finished with the basecoats
Onto applying washes
Model with wash applied
Highlight colors for dry-brushing

Basecoat > Wash > Drybrush > EZ-PZ
Colors for the "pustules"
Eww
Colors for the "wattle" and/or mustache? I'm honestly not sure what it's supposed to be.
I think blonde was a good choice
Colors for the stump
I think the green mossy effect looks neat
Basing materials: Mossy overgrown tufts, Mud texture paste, Bog 4-in-1 scatter. Available on our website at hugeminis.com
Basing is super quick and easy these days
Thanks for viewing, I hope you've enjoyed following along with these paint diaries!

The crew over at Game Envy have a really neat take on a traditional wet palette. I think it's compelling and unique enough to share, so consider checking it out!

Thank you to everybody for suggesting which colors you'd like to see me use on this model. I painted it up in a style that I'm comfortable with and enjoy. I'll leave the more fine paint jobs to those of you with more talent and ambition than myself.

These first 48 hours have been incredible. After spending such a long time working to nail these recipes, all the while keeping it entirely secret – finally having this campaign live is a tremendous weight lifted. Thank you for putting your trust in what we do and the products that we make.
I’m going to spend the next few days painting up a model so that I can demonstrate how the paint looks in use. I’ll be taking photos of the various stages of the process and share them in the next update. Let me know if there’s any colors you’d like to see me use.
