It's been a while since I painted my two Fire Prisms, but I always knew I would revisit them one day to repaint the Prism Cannons. I was never really happy with my original paint job of the Cannons, as ideally I wanted them blended from light to dark blue. At the time though, after spending a lot of time on the tanks, I sort of ran out of steam on them. I tried blending them, but ended up hashing them up and got a bit frustrated with it. In the end I ended up just doing some extreme layers, knowing that one day I would go back and redo them...
I am no blending expert, but I have been able to do both wet and dry blends on a selection of small areas before. I think it may have been the size of the Cannon that gave me problems the first time round. This time though, with a nice fresh mind and some new found confidence I was sure I could improve them. here is a close up of my embarrassing original first paint job...
I thought long and hard about how I wanted my Cannons to look, I never really did like the 'lightning' effect that most people do that much, it looks fine, but it's just not for me. I wanted them to blend from light to dark blue! A few hours later and without any hitches, I had some results that I was happy with. Not perfect, but a lot better...
Pictures of my finished Saim-Hann themed army coming soon!
Wow they looks great! The re-paint really worked well! The blending it pretty much seamless! Great stuff! :)

DeleteThis is how I paint the yellow spirit/gem stones...
Base coat of Iyanden Yellow, I then paint the following layers leaving a section from the first layer showing from one corner to the other, 2:1 Iyanden/Sunburst, 1:1 Iyanden/Sunburst, Sunburst, 1:1 Sunburst/White. I then put a white dot in the dark section to finish it off.
