Captain Tycho - Part III

Say hello to my little friend.

And that is Captain Tycho done, in what must be record time for me. The whole remaining isolated and indoors helps of course, and I could always do more, but: done.

The base actually has a little more contrast than the photo shows, and again I'm not going to do anything more to it. If I start to add grass or shrubs, it would be far too easy to add too much and ruin the model. So as much as I think a little something extra would help, I'm leaving it as is.

Highlighting the armour last, after the varnish spray, worked well. It's not useful for photography, but I'm not going to go overboard on lighting conditions to try help that. The face mask in particular looks much better highlighted, with the cheekbones matching and giving more symmetry to the face.

I did paint some bronzes onto the meltagun cannister for a bit of variation. Too much silver otherwise.

As ever, because I'm bad at freehand on smooth surfaces let alone contoured ones, I'm leaving the loincloth without decoration. This is still ok - Blood Angels of all figures would have a plain one as a symbol of purity, and the robes Sanguinius is often depicted as wearing.

Onwards to the next model!
