Fleshy Tests

 Hello blog reader(s), it has been a while since the last post.  The kids have been busy with water polo, which means I have been busy driving, and with a couple of home projects and the season of birthdays I have had very little time for hobby (or gaming, I missed a lovely Quar game).

I have been working on a project which is inching closer to completion. 

The figures in question have a lot of bare skin, so I thought I would simplify things by using some newfangled Contrast paint.  Since I have not used this paint before, I thought a test would be in order, and this level of work was something I did have time for.

Gulliman Flesh test #1

I had a ton of old Chaos Marauder arms, so I selected a few that were similar, sprayed them white, and then undercoated them with the following colors: Flat white spray, pink as a highlight, all pink, ivory, Bugmans glow (a ruddy skin tone), and splatter paint with Bugmans. 

Here is the result:


Honestly, it was super fast to do the skin this way, but I did not get the look I was after for this project.  I may run another test (after all I have plenty of spare Marauder arms!), or I may just go back to traditional painting. 

What do you think?  Have you used Contrast, or another one coat paint for skin?
