I find Ultramarine figures can look a bit "flat" and dull but you've got a certain brightness, almost a sheen to the armour which sells me on the idea of it being ceramite power armour. I think it's the glaze which is doing that.George Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706465827178319046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129512964717024375.post-55453987160673189152016-01-08T18:46:55.602+00:002016-01-08T18:46:55.602+00:00Good job sir!Good job sir!Leadheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514771700423204620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129512964717024375.post-39379403332943344002016-01-08T13:38:42.687+00:002016-01-08T13:38:42.687+00:00Cheers, you've made my day!

The zenithal lighting is briliant and really works.<br />The blue is rich and vibrant and the glaze was a good thing (7 times water seems more like a recipe for a wash, 4 times seems better to me ).<br />MOAR of those please !Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.com
