Turd Burger?

I am on the fence with this one.  The brown and green don't quite work together, but I am not sure what I think about it.  My main concern is once the saddle and base are in the picture, that there will be many clashing colours at play.  If I was to go entirely back in time, I probably buy blue True Metallic Metals for their armour instead of green.

    Im gonna say stay the course. A finished product looks better than a half-done one, so judging things halfway through is often just going to end up shooting yourself in the foot. Or flipper.

    What's the colour on the green? Something along the same lines as the green eels?

      Yes, sme as what was on the eels, Mantis Warrior Green Contrast. I will do some soft of a drybrush over it, maybe wraithbone or something.

Shark Week DISASTER!

I wasn't feeling it for the old sharkie boy this evening, so I went back to my terrain piece.  Now that it was all brown, I knew I need to give it a black wash, but the thought of the cost involved was putting me off.  So I found a super cheap black wash recipe from Black Magic Craft, which in turn led me to an improved version he had done.  As it turns out, I had all of the required ingredients.  Blending Medium, Flow-aid, black ink and even water!  If I had to buy this, it would not have been a cheap wash, but as the monery was already spent, it felt free. Insert exciting picture of washed boat half that looks slightly darker than the other half.  This is a slow job, and the flow-aid was put in a bit heavy I suspect, as I am getting a lot of bubbles. I will give this a drybrush afterwards, to bring back some highlights, and knock back the shine.

 Not a lot done this weekend.  I could probably call this terrain piece tabletop ready, although it is far from being done.  I need to apply some verdigris, and paint the various fish, bottles, barnacles, and shells.  The overall paint job is a bit dull.  After washing the whole thing, I drybrushed it with a 1:1 mix of Tokai Grey and Brigadine Brown from Army Painter.  I did another lighter highlight with more of the grey, but really it barely registers.   After that it was Balthasar Gold from Citadel.  I am not sure if the Sigmar sculpture on the front is supposed to be wood or metal, but now it is metal.  I then tried AP Strong Tone for the first time.  It was not what I expected, and is very thick, with a slow drying time, so you could sort of move the shadows around a bit.  I liked it, and will use it again I am sure.
