[Dreadball]¶
Francworle Galaxy¶

I started to paint my first Dreadball team, the humans.

All models were basecoated with Vallejo Model Air Grey Primer and my Airbrush.

The first testmodel ended up like I imagined the team to look like, so I think I will stick to these colours.

BTW do the colours remind you of a real club...?

Having slept over the colour scheme one night, the white seemed to dominant.

To mitigate this I added some more blue and orange parts to the legs.

Base colour and washes on the first group:

I added the numerical decals using

Here is the result

I am pondering whether to add a team logo to the models, but I am not sure about it yet. My current idea is to create a template from masking tape and apply the logo using my airbrush. As I never did something like this before lets see...

Colour Bottle Storage System Extension¶

Having added to my collection of colours in the last few months (one of the reasons is my Christmas present, an airbrush), my storage system did not provide enough space any more. This afternoon I added a fourth box.

I am using the boxes paper packages are delivered in, cut down to 8cm height. Inside, I created a system of compartments, where I put the bottles upside down (to be able to see the colour).

Here are my colours (except those I am currently using in projects):

Balls¶

Today I gave OSL (object source lightning) my first try. I airbrushed four tones of consecutive lighter shades of metallic tones onto the balls, using a steeper angle of the airbrush the lighter the colour got.

I think it is not to bad for a first try, but anyone who is able to produce OSL effects will probably laugh...

After the airbrushing, I painted the crevices black, then a thin line of white into the middle. Finally, I used a yellow green, a blue and a purple wash to imitate glowing. Unfortunately, on the photos the washes are not very visible... Using your eyes the effect is much more visible.
