Hyperion Project 1

This is a Colossal from the Privateer Press’s Warmachine game, from the Retribution army. The model is normally a lot dirty than it is here, but the client wanted a super clean look, and I kind of like it. If you do not know it is harder to paint something this clean, than it is to paint something dirtier. If I had changed the paper back drop in the last 6 months it might be only teal highlights that you see.

This model was easier to paint into the inlays than the Worldwrath because of the angle they the edges are at, but it was harder due to access of those areas once the arms are on.

Both feet are pinned though you might not see it at all. On the slightly raised foot, I have bent a pin with 90 degree angles into the foot, and then greenstuffed over it, so the pin goes into the meat of the foot rides down the surface of the back side of the foot into the ground where it is tied down basically.

The way I tie down a pin like that is one of those 1 inch washers with a small 16 penny nail hole in the middle. I put the pin through that hole and then bend it a few times so it wont pull out easily. Once the basing materials are glued down they lock everything in place and there is no knots or edges being worn that give out in 6 months.

The oil in the front is cotton ball broken up and covered with elmer’s glue, and then painted. After the model is sealed I put a gloss medium on the oil parts to give it a shine.
