Two Ultramarine Landspeeders painted in different blues
and painted 2 years apart.
I painted the one on left(no rockets) just over
2 yrs ago in the traditional faded blue colour.
Basically, Macragge Blue, Drakenhof Nighshade,
Altdorf Guard and Calgar Blue.
This a gives a dusty, weathered blue look and I did a basic job.
The newer Landspeeder is more in the modern blue/purple look that
Ultramarines are going. Colour wise its roughly Kantor Blue,Altdorf
Guard and Fenrisian Grey.
This for me is a more an experimental colour as it involves mixing
3 basic colours with each other to get darker and lighter shades
of blue. So much so, I would find it hard to get an exact match again.
I have improved detail wise but I like the old dusty, weathered looking
Ultramarine style to the newer clean look.
Which do you prefer ?
I like the older looking paint job. Classic Ultramarine colors. . .brings back memories. 🙂
I like the more worn colours too, but the stronger colours of the second job would stand out on a table rather nicely. I find it interesting to visit projects again in this way, to see how your style has changed and even tastes. Thanks for sharing
