GreenStuff World “Pinky Blue” Colorshift paint
- No Comments
Today I’m writing about my experiences with Colourshift, specifically GreenStuff Worlds “Pinky Blue”.
As those of you that may have read my post regarding the Dropfleet Commander 2-player set may remember, I’d recently been looking for a game to take the edge off my need for space combat.
(you can read it here; https://www.the-outpost.co.uk/dropfleet-commander-starter-set/)
I picked up the Dropfleet Commander set shortly after the release of that post, and was very impressed with the ships included. They’re moulded in hard plastic and are very modular with crisp detailing.
While I was content to keep the UCM (Human) ships with a fairly neutral colour scheme, I wanted something much more unusual for the Scourge (Alien) ships that reflected the bio-mechanical nature of their technology.
From the start I was intending to use a colour shifting paint, and having seen the “Pinky Blue” offered by GreenStuff World I knew that it would be the perfect choice.
I began the painting by spraying the bottom of the ships with Colour Forge Gauntlet Gold spray, and the top with Colour Forge Matt Black spray. This left a good zenithal transition to base the colourshift paint on. I applied the colorshift carefully, in multiple thin coats while trying to ensure the brush strokes went the same direction each time. I’m told that applying colourshifts through an airbrush makes for both an easier and more effective result, but I was happy with the results I got just using a traditional brush method.
Once the colourshift had dried I used an old citadel colour, Putrid Green, to do the nodes on the front of the ship that make up the weapon banks. The closest substitute for that I’ve been able to find is either Citadel Moot Green or GreenStuff Worlds Flubber Green
Let us know if you’ve tried any other colourshift paints and how you got on with them!
