[hez1]

Thanks again everyone!

Love that blue color on it too. Which mask is it on?

Ha ..the blue patina over the blackened bronze ..damn ..there goes my idea for mine. Love it Lazarith! Paul you made one mean looking Bio ..cant wait to get mine

Hez - It's sitting on the AVP mask that I use for my suit, I THINK its a Mander AVP?

George - I know it looks blue in the pictures, but its actually a green color (the same color that copper turns when it rusts) on top of a silver base...so you're all good for bronzing it up

Let the paint-ups begin!
Need to paint the tusks, put in lenses, and put in the lasers....but I think it's done enough to show

Fak, that's awesome!

how did you do it and what did you use?

 

[Lazrith]

1. Base coat of flat black over the entire thing.
2. Sophisticated Finishes (Silver) over the bio, light application to leave the deeper pits still black.
3. I then used a sponge to put on the dark blue/green color that is most prominent in the pictures, not sure on the name right now.
4. Using the same sponge, applied a lighter green over the darker stuff, focusing on areas that I'd think would rust more. (Like the battle damage)
5. Using an airbrush, I applied Dark Brown to areas that I wanted to highlight. I might go over some of these areas with a Sand color to give it more of a "dirt" look.
6. Using the airbrush again, I applied Dark Red over the entire thing to give it a slightly red hue. Looking back, I should have done this right after I did the silver (step 2)

I'm still undecided on what I want to do with the cheeks though...ideas?

Pic heavy post, but I wanted to show Tusky Bio # 0 in some different lighting. This was finished by Hez himself and as I understand was the first prototype in order to check the mold.

 

[Lazrith]

That looks SICK with that lamp light on there

 

[behindthecamera]

[EyesOfTheDemon]
