Painter vs. Painter: Round 2

Posted by Ron


That's right, Round 2 has already begun.

Since it was my turn to pick the models for this Round, I chose something completely different from the previous go around.
It's all metal this time.

I'm hoping to get mine done in the coming weeks so that the next time you see these tin men, you'll be voting once again.

I'm playing Ratchet and Clank right now and I just thought that it was really spiffy to see that mini show up. Look forward to the results. Hoping for glowing green eyes:)

I wonder if we'll see some fast vs slow metal weathering techniques (I hope so!)

My Wife has already said she's going to tell me how I'm painting mine. I think she has some grand plans for this model.
I'm not sure how long it's going to take this time.

This is one write up i cant wait for. I paint plenty of metal and i am interested to see how the "pro's" do it. See if i cant get some good tips to help with my painting.

I've been running to my FLGS almost once a week to buy paint. Of course, that makes sense seeing as that I'm painting almost everyday and this stuff is bound to run out.
