First, I know that I am not the best painter in the world but I hope this entry may help someone take a shot at painting or improve what they do. Also, the photos are taken with my cell phone so take that into consideration when you see the photo quality.
At one time I put a ton of effort into this hobby learning to shade and apply layer after endless layer. I thought I reached a point where I was doing pretty well. Then I stumbled onto a technique that caused me to set that aside. The technique simply eclipsed all except my best work. First, let me show you my finished team and then I will explain myself.
Thus far I have not spent the money to buy the secret weapons so you will see my proxies. (A squig easily fills the role of a chainsaw.) Behold the Pocket Hulks.
Incredible Hulk and She Hulk
Fanatic, Doomdiver, and Ooligan
Looney, Bombardier, Coach
A few random gobos.
The technique is dipping. The only difference between the models above and the pictures that follow are a dip in ploy-urethane deck stain, metallics coated in Tamiya Clear Coat Smoke, and basing.
