Here's the finished Decapitator. I added in a bunch of Verdi Gris to give it that aged and authentic look. The priest reminded me of a plastic Jeebuss, or a reliquary icon so I attempted to paint the face a faux ivory.

One thing about painting verdigris that I remembered while doing it again. You really need to build up the paint to make it read right. I have 8-10 dry brushings in some areas.
I didn't need to seal the model, as the spray paint is a gloss and on quite thick, and the verdigris needs the flatness to sell it. If some rubs off- well then it makes it even more authentic!
Looks really good. Have you snuck it back yet?
ReplyDeleteBlackthorn- Yep, I put it atop his cube at lunch yesterday. It didn't take him long to find it. Mission complete!

Superb.
ReplyDeleteAs I go through the Lead Mountain finding stuff, I am am thinking of bronzing some of it. I did a Wellington bust years ago and it turned out nice.
