Catching Up on my Silvermoon Models

I have been quite distracted recently. I bought a PS4 about two weeks ago and Destiny has owned my life. Prior to that, though, I did manage to paint a number of Bushido models. 

I focused on getting a number of Silvermoon models done in hopes of evening out our Ito vs Silvermoon games as they were pretty one sided with the limited Silvermoon models that I had. 

Hanami was the first of the batch. I decided to use more yellow with my Silvermoon models. I also tried my hand at a flower tattoo on her leg that turned out very well. 

Next up was Old Zo. He is the tax man. I wanted to get him painted as quickly as I could since my friend and I agreed that he would add the most to my current Bushido models. In the game, however, he didn't end up being too effective. I think we just need to figure him out a bit better. 

Sukuratchi and his animals were next. The forums seem to love his pets as they are great for tying up big enemy threats. After my success with Hanami's tattoo, I decided to try out more yellow and more flowers. 

These guys are just some extra thugs. I didn't realize that they were the same models as some other characters I already had. So I just did a quick, basic job on these guys. 

Finally, I painted my new favorite character. 

Oda and Tautola. 

This model can be played two ways. One is the combined model and the other is seperate. 

I used 3 magnets for this. One is under Oda's feet, the other is on his small base rock and finally, the third if behind Tautola's head. 

I also continued with my flower and yellow theme and really went all out on Oda's clothing. 

Currently, I have 4 more unfinished Bushido models. They are 3 mercenaries and the big Ito snake. I am also waiting on a shipment of Bakemono for my third faction. 

But, until that arrives, I think I will be busy shooting aliens in the face. 

Hanami and Zo

I got this beautiful package earlier this week. 

It is the second half of a Bushido shopping spree I had mid last month. 

I bought all of the Silvermoon models (except one that was sold out). 

I let my girlfriend randomly choose the first two to paint. She chose Hanami and Old Zo. 

I really like how she turned out. I decided to put some free hand flowers and a rose tattoo on her thigh. 

I also tried to use yellow again. It went pretty well. I used the GW yellow wash and tried to put some light white marks here and there. This is something I am going to continue to try out. 

I went with a similar color scheme for Old Zo. Zo, however, has a detail I have never encountered, glasses. I looked up some tutorials and finally just went with a bright blue and white over that. 

I have also been into terrain building lately. This is the newest piece that I built. The static grass held on a little better on the stone path than I had intended. 

These guys are next. I went with a new brown primer. Hopefully that works out.
