I use 50:50 Mephiston red+black, then glaze pure Mephiston red, then wild ryder red, and finally troll slayer orange. You can't mix white into the red obviously, or you get pink.

Yeah for sure. Focus the highlights on the bottom right and top left of the cockpit - or just focus on the bottom left/right and leave the top dark. Jeweling cockpits is pretty much the same as what I did here :)

@@terrymurray-arnold3181 Yes - if it was a regular cockpit I might go for painting from the top left, making brush strokes to the bottom right, so you end up with a bright triangle shape in the bottom right corner. (As 1 example)

Can this be done for white lenses?
@HeroesBosses3 жыл бұрын
If you mean can you start with white instead of black as your first color, then yes, absolutely. Just add the colors in reverse order. Start with a really light green and then work your way to the darker greens. But if you mean, can you create "glowing white lenses" - yes you can but it would be a different process.

Those are some big lenses...do you use that many colours on smaller lenses too?
@HeroesBosses4 жыл бұрын
On a small lens (if it was green) I'd normally paint it first with a dark green, then just 2 highlight colors for the reflection or glow. So basecoat Caliban Green, then paint the bottom half of the lens with Warpstone Glow, then a little arc of Moot Green. Finish off with a small dab of white in the top corner and a small curve of white on the bottom on top of the Moot Green. You could certainly use fewer colors. It would be impossible for me to paint the lenses at all without my magnifying glass :)
