    good work but...
    Do you think its logically a good idea of creating a smoking PC?

    "You know your PC is burning?"
    "shut up!"
    "calm down, i prevented further damage with this fire extinguisher"
    "you WHAT?"

    Awesome case. Is the commander mode going to be just a window?

    Heres a couple techniques you can use for painting. Definately use water based acrylics for these. I would recommend doing your last two coats of drybrushing AFTER you shade it using conventional blending or a wash. Create a random rock or something out of plaster to try these out so you can see how they work and how effective they can be.

    Drybrushing- Get a big brush, put it into the paint then wipe most of it off on a paper towel. Lightly brush it onto your model. You can layer or fade very easily with this, as well as highlighting. In smaller scale I may use two colors of drybrushing, you may want more like 6 since your case is so large...

    Washes- Take a disposable cup, pour a small amount of paint in it (a couple mm), then add water and stir till you get something colored but is slightly thicker than water. This technique you use to add shadows and shade crevaces. Simply take a brush and coat your model. Since its so thin it will slide down into the cracks and create a lot of dark shading with minimal work. You can use different shades of wash with each being a little lighter shade and thicker as the last to shade the recessed areas quickly and easily.

    Infestation looks sweet. Now all it needs is a little touch of orange there, some green here, (ramble on and on)

    Yeah, you get the idea. Might want to get HLMV and look at the skins of the aliens and structures for a better idea on detailing the infestation..
  • coriscoris Join Date: 2003-07-08 Member: 18034Members, Constellation
    I think it needs more yellow D:

    Hive reminds me of undies =O

    Nice work, make sure you add some orange and red as well as green and yellow to the infestation.

    Looks awesome

    I would add more orange as previously suggested to the infestation.
    Also, the surface could use more panels with light. NS with blinking, glowing, computer panels seems natural to me.
    And finally, abit more grey-color on the res node.
  • CondizzleCondizzle Join Date: 2004-10-05 Member: 32107Members
    Yeah, some electric panels sticking out from the growth would be cool. It would look more 'infested' than 'alien'.
  • porchaporcha Join Date: 2003-08-26 Member: 20244Members
    yea...working on it....i haven't painted any of the other pieces yet...i will be painting the res node and the pipes...phear not
