| "It's the last 15 minutes that you put into the model that they see." ~ Cathy and Jim Wappel. Holy shit! While the saying meant something I never fully understood it til just now. Next post I'll put pics of this and it finished to emphasize the point. Can see how it'll look in my head and there's a world of difference that makes those last 15 mins everything. |

I agree with that statement too. The final highlights and details really transform the models. It's my favorite part!
ReplyDeleteKind of torn which is my favourite, assembling or painting. So hard to choose. /wink
DeleteLovely work so far. Great modulation on the Armour. You should check out Jim's DVDs. Took me a while to get how his technique works, but after about 4 minis there as a click and it made sense. Even after watching his DVDs I would love to take a class with him to learn a bit more.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment, Zab. Armour worked out better than I thought. Would like to get his complete dvd set. Actually plan on painting a mini up in his style soon.
DeleteHe's an absolute great guy to chat with. Have an post I've been meaning to write up about him and Cathy.
Having spoken to James online, I'd highly agree. He is one of the artists I aspire too!
DeleteRight with you, hope to paint marble and NMM like him some time.
