[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8872076, member: 4534"] Okay, so for all the talk about the grey tide, there's also the bright, well, tide might not fit, how about tide pool? Yes, the color tide pool. These are the miniatures someone has started, but, for whatever reason, they lost interest before the project was complete. The miniatures below are the Space Marine Terminators from the Space Hulk board game. I purchased the game in 2017, I painted them in 2020, and left them unfinished for the last two years. You might be thinking they're finished based on the photo, but they're not, though some of them are close. A lot of them still need the detail work completed, and those lightning claws really need some work for that one guy there. I tried something new with these, I applied a base coat of aluminium and followed that up with some Tamiya transparent red which gave these guys an interesting look. I had a hard time completing the detail work, because the paint didn't want to stick to the coat of Tamiya I laid down. So I've applied some varnish to the miniatures in the hopes that I'll have an easier time completing the details. For most of my projects, the vast majority of the painting is completed in a very short period of time. But when you start adding the little details, highlighting chains, weathering, etc., etc., that's where you end up sinking most of your time. [/QUOTE]
