📖 [Rokr Journey] Update: Some Seahorse Barque 🏴‍☠️ Details

[Orangesareus]

I am truly enjoying painting this piece! I get to practice AND Experiment! Oh how I missed painting miniatures

Detailed and Slow is the game, but the outcomes has been satisfactory. Here are the few pieces I’ve done. Most of the original materials are plain Black or Gold, wether plastic or wood.

Stairs: from Plain Black (seen on the piece holding the stair pieces) to Dark Oak, stained and aged. I am currently using Tamiya Acrylic Paint in Smoke it is a glaze and light weight that adds depth and texture on the pieces. The paint itself is translucent so it is buildable

you can see some of the Smoke paint, mimics soot and dirt

I have more pics but this is just a smaller update.
Gotta paint some more

[ThaoNguyen]

Wow, the colors you used are really unique.

[Orangesareus]

Thank you so much! It also had some Copper and metallic Blue… to show some Brass corrosion . Still working on how I can make it work.

GIRL WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! Because this is absolutely amazing!

The weathered floor wow it’s really starting to look like a diorama! Amazing job!

I honestly can’t wait to see this finished you’re so talented!

[Suzanne_Jones]

The colours are wonderful. It’s so cool that you’ve managed to give it an aged wood look.

[Liset]

This looks great! Did you sand down the black parts before painting?

[Jill_Francisco]

Wow! The wooden stain looks amazing You really achieved the worn out look.

[Nita_Davis]

WOW! I absolutely love the weathered wood look. Does this special paint give it that crackled look? It’s amazing!

[valleyggoo]

omg now I can’t accept mine being black!! I love how realistic you made it your choice of colour was impeccable!! also it was that one pot of paint that gave it this wood like colour?? you didn’t add more to it??

[mchipman]

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing your painting techniques. I could use an inspiration

[Jerry_Boswijk]

Wow, this is amazing. I thought you sanded it all but you only put s different paint over the original black paint. The gold and the black over it also looks amazing.

[Orangesareus]

You are so kind Thank you!!! I just love painting in general and the outcomes just really coming through…. I am so happy that you guys are liking it. It is time and can be labour intensive but it feel good to get the outcomes I am hoping for! I will keep doing my best <3

[Orangesareus]

Thank you! I was actually not sure how I will get it to come together but I am satisfied so far… I got so much more to do and I think I am getting a hang of how I like the colour scheme to be like.

[Orangesareus]

So i sanded certain parts, not all. Parts that I feel would have a lot of foot traffic I sanded a bit. Otherwise I used either a dark brown or light brown as base, before dry brushing my light tan colour.

[Orangesareus]

Thank you very much! I was thinking of the sea salt, the wind and general foot traffic a ship goes through. The smoke and soot from the canons and open fire…. I now got to figure out how I can translate this on the sails!

[Orangesareus]

Thank you! I am obsessed with it too! The Tamiya paint does sit better on the cracks and creases to highlight it. The crackled look I think it’s from dry brushing the light tan on the dark colours.

[Nita_Davis]

It looks AMAZING!

[Orangesareus]

Thank you so much! There is a process to it, I will take a step by step process to explain how I do it and I will tag you! Hehehe Thank you <3

[Orangesareus]

I will make a full pot on exactly how I have been painting, thank you for letting me know! I am glad I can inspire you guys with painting

[Orangesareus]

Thank you! I wanted to really get some textures on it, so a lot of dry brushing is happening to get the textures that I am looking for!
