Just created a white and dark blue airbrush paint / primer for my 40K hobby table. So far I'm happy with how they came out. The dark blue especially. Vallejo model color is absolutely near perfect.
Also got a start on priming the tips of some drop pods for my roommate's Raven Guard army, and my Valkyries / Vendettas for my Imperial Guard /Astra Militarum army. I've had these Valkyries / Vendettas in storage for months now.
I also was able to prime white my priests for my IG/AM army. This is all after I finished painting up my roommates Masters of the Forge part of his army. 1 Master of the Forge with Servo-Harness, 2 Techmarines with Servo-Arms, and 8 servitors two of which have Plasma Cannons.
Here are some in progress pics. Sorry about the potato quality.
The white came out as I expected. I ended up just using a 100 ml dropper bottle and put in 1/3 Liquitex Basics Titanium White mixed with 2/3 water. I leave a little bit of room at the top so I can shake it up. Not sure if adding a BB or two would help with the mixing process or hurt it.
The dark blue came out near perfect. It is the color I wanted it to be, or the best I could expect. However it is a lot thinner than I expected. I am sure I'm going to have to do a few layers of this in certain places if not over the whole model.. Yet this was done the same way as with the Liquitex, only it was a full bottle of Vallejo game Color Imperial Blue. Absolutely no issues with mixing in water with this one. I just think I used too much. Which is fine because I can always add more paint into the dropper bottle. Also this is a test run so I'm really happy so far with the results.
Hopefully with all the free time I've had lately I'll be updating more often. At least until school starts up again. Oh boy to I have a lot to build and paint =)
