Still slow going for now, though the pace should pick up again in another week or two. I've managed a little bit more on the Reiver, and have decided that as a test model I'll give NMM another go. I'll mostly focus on the knife for the effect, but the gun will have a little bit added as well.
Although starting to take shape, I can definitely say that sub-assemblies, even just for initial base coat and highlights, are the way to go with an airbrush. I have some plans around that in a couple weeks.
The pouches here are done with a new paint: Thondia Brown. It probably wouldn't be far off from a layer paint really, but gives a nice basic leather colour to work from. I glazed a little Bloodletter over the top, mixed some flesh tones on the wet palette for edge highlights, and added some Agrax Earthshade at the end for a bit more depth. It needs something else perhaps, but that's for experimentation some other time.
On this model I also tried out Vallejo Decal Softener. I wanted to see how much better it might be at moulding decals to the underlying surface. It does a pretty good job actually, even on the circle applied to the left pauldron. The latter was purposefully unprepared (no strategic cuts to help it fold over) and while I had to work at it with a brush, it came out surprisingly well. I fully intend to keep using it in future.
It'll still be a while before I finish this model - probably another week and a half, if I'm lucky.
