DREAD with SLEDGE! Swordfysh Sails

A very overdo Dreadfleet video of the painting of the Swordfish x3. I've had enormous problems trying to post vids. using the old 286 computer I was gimping by on but now that my current system is back up and running I can post again at long last. Still slow going trying to install my old software but I am alive and painting, albeit sick again. Stay tuned for more.

Sidenote: When painting the emblems/icons, you really need patience, a tony brush tip, and a steady hand...and if you have one, a flat brush rather than a round brush. I need to get one after this!

ps: regarding the details of the sails; should I just go with a fine tip 0/5 or 0/18 and paint, rather than dry brush across? I think the dry brushing I did for the bone pieces (turtle, ruler) looked fine for , well, aging bone of dead remains, but don't know how the look would go over on a refined material like silk or whatever the sails are made from.

@JChalant: Fine tip. I tried to dry brush the emblems for a base coat but for the Swordfysh sails it just won't work well due to the shape of the sails. You'll need a lot of patience and a steady hand, and paint the icons solid. A dry-brush look overall really only looks good on rocks and areas that need a lot of texture. The silk of the sails needs to be more smooth. I'll post again soon.

seasonal changes bring out the worst in throat-thriving ick it seems. Everyone I know is struggling through this year. Get better sooner rather than later i hope. Thanks for the round-up on what you did to this point. I'm still working on terrain and misc. pieces before moving on to ships because I still hope for some GW paints and washes for Sunday so your video timing still works for THIS guy ;)

@JChalant: Washes are almost a necessity. Foundation paints can be skipped if you want to save on some cash, but washes really bring out those details so nice I consider them a must-buy.

@SwimmingInMtDew: As soon as my good computer booted to windows I cracked this sucker out first thing. Just wanted to get this up as soon as possible. I may add the intro to later videos but no heavy editing.

@SwimmingInMtDew She's not bothering to do the intros anymore because that would probably take a while to edit i.e. Too long, since she wants to get these out as quickly and as easily as possible.
