The red was an experiment where I was starting from almost black and transitioning into red (with the hope of achieving a dark brooding red). There are a total of 8 highlights on the armor, ending in a bright red edge highlight. Some of the transitions don’t come across super well in the pictures. I had considered going even brighter with the highlights but was afraid I would make his armor look pink. Next time I paint red I will try and have some more extreme highlights at the end (and maybe not start with so dark a black as the base color). :) Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-55600069240846907902015-04-14T19:14:24.910-07:002015-04-14T19:14:24.910-07:00Thanks for all your support; I am glad you like th...Thanks for all your support; I am glad you like the models! It is great to be converting again and working on other models, after spending so much time on these three, he he. I have been having a lot of fun playing around with some of the new Mechanicum models, and hope to show some here soon.Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-36951256560016424892015-04-14T19:12:58.189-07:002015-04-14T19:12:58.189-07:00Thanks for all the kind words and all the suggesti...Thanks for all the kind words and all the suggestions along the way! It has been a long process, but worth it in the end I think.<br /><br />I plan to go back and add the =I= to Soljic soon, and perhaps change the inside of the coat, I do like how Nil’s cloak turned out. I also want to go and make the screen’s on Molnar look like screens. All small details, but I feel they will really strengthen them as a whole.Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-87822654841138428752015-04-14T14:39:37.568-07:002015-04-14T14:39:37.568-07:00Absolutely love the inquisitor.

The trio is excellent and Molnár is one of the best takes on the power armoured Inquisitor archetype that I've seen.<br /><br />Some criticism however. I think the armour is a bit flat, I think you shouldn't be afraid to bring the highlights up to almost white, even pure white. Study for example JRN's Scion trooper or his DC marines.<br /><br />/Nicklas (apoteos on the ammobunker)Nicklashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05829498885553698143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-92044947743976236652015-04-13T09:57:33.396-07:002015-04-13T09:57:33.396-07:00I've pretty much said my piece on these and I...I've pretty much said my piece on these and I don't have anything new to say besides I'm very happy and looking forward on the development of Molnars crew :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-8497693171906714712015-04-13T03:07:42.436-07:002015-04-13T03:07:42.436-07:00The group is a fantastic achievement -- and even b...The group is a fantastic achievement -- and even better when one considers that you've returned to painting miniatures with these guys! Molnar is an especially big triumph and easily one of the best power-armoured Inquisitor models around. Absolutely brilliant!<br /><br />As has been remarked elsewhere, the dynamic between the pieces is really excellent as well -- fantastic work all around!<br /><br />I know I sound like a broken record, but if you do indeed go back to Soljic in order to add an =][= or two, might I suggest painting the lining of his coat in dark red after all -- it looks great on the Naval Officer, and it would make the model a bit less bland while not resulting in something overly ostentatious or garish.<br /><br />Oh, and an =][= screensaver on Molnar's gauntlet sounds like a teriffic idea!<br /><br />Keep up the amazing work!KrautScientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992997405409517857noreply@blogger.com
