Roktman Posted June 28, 2019 Report Posted June 28, 2019 One of the two mythological creatures I got from Atlantis Miniatures (not the same as Atlantis Models) is the Sphinx. This is a well done 7 piece gray resin kit. There's no flash, or no bubbles. Adding paint, the obvious reference is a lion so I used V's Beige, with the German Brown Black for the mane. Then I added Citadel's Reikland Fleshshade over the body and their Nuln Oil over the mane. Once that was dry I added bad the Beige but as a drybrush. The main got a dry brush of V's Beige Brown. The wings got the same treatment of the beige and Reikland Fleshshade. This time the heavy drybrush was with V's Foundation White. Later on I added a second go round of white to the upper wings and V's Brown Wash to the deepest areas of the wing folds. The brick piles got a coat of V. Game Color Plague Brown, drybrushed with beige and highlighted with a beige/white mix. The ground work was some simply with V. Tan Primer over some Mod Podge which had the Chinchilla dust sprinkled on it. I also added a few extra bricks out of the same sized balsa lumber. With that I was done. Thanks for looking. My obligatory size comparison pic.
sprueguy Posted June 29, 2019 Report Posted June 29, 2019 That is so cool. Wish I had the imagination to sculpt that kind of work.
Roktman Posted July 2, 2019 Author Report Posted July 2, 2019 Thanks guys! Tony: this "Co.'s" offerings are terrific. One is more imaginative than the next. If you look over their catalog, you'd want one of each! But I think thats the way it's going for these new miniature companies. Was 3D computers vs. clay sculpts give you a lot more freedom wot be wild IMHO. Phil: Thanks for the kind words. 🙂
