Captain Tycho - Part II

Wipe your feet before coming in.

Tycho is now finished to a degree that the Purity Seal varnish can be applied. Given the amount of metallics on the model, it means actually being entirely finished is still at least a day's effort away (depending on motivation), but that's much closer than to the start.

There's again not a whole lot that hasn't been detailed before. And once again, having built up a formula for Blood Angels (and written it down!) makes the process that much faster.

The one area that is new, and not actually seen much in the photo, is the pistol holster. I was playing around again with that, and came up with:

• Rhinox Hide over the entire holster.
• Gorthor Brown for basic highlights.
• Druchii Violet over the whole holster, careful not to let it pool too much.
• Gorthor Brown again to re-highlight. This was done while the shade wasn't quite dry, so it blended into the brown nicely as it was being applied.

Seems to work quite well for this model, but I'm not convinced it would be as effective on something else. This is another case of the sculpt showing itself off, and the paint job doesn't need to add much.

The finecast models may be older designs, but those designs certainly have a lot of character to them.
