Oh, I’m not recommending the color choice because I think they’ll come out bad. (Here’s a Caesar in the same color but with a little better lighting to show my point) but it’s so much more of a chore to get those bright, complex colors that it can get exhausting if you have to paint more than a handful of them. Especially if you’re starting with a black primer like me.
This here, for example, needed a base coat of red-orange, a dry brush of orange, and a dry-dry brush of bright orange on top of all that.
It’s a lot of work to get it just right, and if the paint has to be just the right thickness because too thin you can’t dry brush it, and too thick and you might lose details under the layers. And then if you have to go back and do touch-ups, what layer do you do the touch ups in? Get it wrong and it’s going to be obvious.
That’s why for the BIG forces I recommend simpler to achieve colors. Ideally ones where it’s a base and a single dry brush layer. Or if it’s more complex, it’s relegated to smaller areas of the mini (like cockpit jeweling).
