- I began this mini in 2 subassemblies - the boat, and the goblin.
The Captain
- Prime Standard Grey
- Basecoats:
- Hat Tenebrous Grey
- Cummerbund Deep Purple
- Coat Black Red
- Skin AK3G Olivgrun Opt.1
- Trousers AK3G Dunkelbraun
- Sword Thrash Metal
- Gold Necro Gold
- Boots Dark Brown
- Hair & Eyes Offwhite - I then used a micron fineliner 005 to dot the pupils, and tidied up any of the basecoats where I'd made mistakes.
- Next, I washed the entire model bar the hair and eyes with a 2:1 mix of Lahmian Medium : Agrax Earthshade . The hair was washed with Soulblight Grey .
The Boat
- Prime Hyrax Brown
- Drybrush the hull with Dark Brown , then mix in a little Thar Brown for a more extreme drybrush/highlight.
- The wheel and sail were then basecoated with Tenebrous Grey , the coins with Necro Gold , and the other metallic details with Thrash Metal . I then named the vessel (I went with TIP SEA) on the plaques with a micron fineliner 005.
- The entire model was then washed with Mortarion Grime , bar the gold, which received a coat of the aforementioned 2:1 mix of Lahmian Medium : Agrax Earthshade
Highlights and Final Steps
- At this point, I glued the models together, as any unreachable areas would be in shadow anyways.
- I used Thar Brown to highlight the stitching across the model
- Dirty Red highlights on the cloak. The cummerbund was a bit too bright so I added a coat of Agrax Earthshade to knock it back further.
- For the sail, I drybrushed it with Neutral Grey in a messy fashion
- For the hat, I added messy highlights with AK3G Dunkelbraun
- The skin was highlighted with AK3G Reflective Green, then I added some Magenta in for the nose.
- Shoes and parts of the hull were highlighted with Mud Brown
- The gold parts were highlighted with the aptly named Moonstone Alchemy ; this was also used to dot the rivets and buttons.
- The base was coated in Mod Podge, then Krautcover Booty Beach was sprinkled all over. The rim was blocked in with a black AK Playmarker.
