Boneyard Repaints
Boneyard Repaints
Here's my first shot:
One thing to note, at least for this clear mini, it has no paint. Therefore you have to treat it like Bones - don't dilute the first paint coat or it will bead up on you!

Re: Boneyard Repaints
Aside from boots and shields, did you somehow make them more transparent? It's pretty cool.
This is too expensive.
Re: Boneyard Repaints
Transparency - I use Tamiya paints which seem to make the plastic more transparent, regardless of the color. In this case, I started with Smoke (https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/acrylic- ... -19-smoke/) to make some shadows (not as effective as a wash) and finished with yellow (https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/acrylic- ... ml-bottle/). The yellow finish, combined with the blue plastic, gave the green overall tint.
Note: these smell like hell and are brush ruiners (but still acryllic).

Nice job! The green gives it a great otherworldly look.
Scale 75 inks mixed with some gel medium work very well too!

Re: Boneyard Repaints
Those Tamiya clears are amazing. Seen some cool stuff done with those on Reaper Bones translucent mini’s.
I got a lot of the Bones 5 gem dragons, specifically to paint them with the Tamiya paints, to make topaz dragons, sapphire dragons, etc.

Wraith Repaint:
Removed the figure & painted the base with Chaos Black. Painted the figure first with Tamiya Clear then detailed with Inktensity Purple (Scale75). Very nice saturation yet transparency with that ink!

Re: Boneyard Repaints
Awesome job as see wraith more black smoke color than blue like a specter or ghost.
These look like a much needed improvement.

Re: Boneyard Repaints
All four are well done Clint, but I really like how the Bone Whelk turned out. Looks very nice. 

Re: Boneyard Repaints
Wow; 100% better on all counts. My fav is a tie: the Skittering Horror and Zombie T-Rex.

Re: Boneyard Repaints
I agree, the sliminess of the Bone Whelk is just what was needed.
Disclamer: I prefer black bases, and as such have painted many clear bases black. Pictures of my collection will reflect this, varying from the original way the mini was produced.
