Do you know this situation, you take a look at a model a couple times, you get more familiar with it while removing flash, you think you know it - then you start painting and discover so much more you missed before. This is one of those models. The level of detail that went into the greebles on the frame is huge.
For highlighting, I used zinc white. In contrast to e.g. titanium white, it lightens the colour it is mixed into, but does not change the colour tone too much; titanium white influences the colour much more. For all the faces I wanted a dead (pun intended) look to the highlights, after all these are skins ripped from the bodies of slain enemies.
For the skulls I used a new colour recipee, I saw couple days ago in a video from Roman Lappat; mixing yellow, purple and white.
The hornblower snotling was started with a bright green, to which I added more and more yellow; no white in this case.
Still a lot of details pending, but I am happy with the progress.
