THE NEXT OF QIN, Finally finished

[Ali Abbas]

time for some color, well, after making the fromt window which is a sandwich.

one layer of mdf designed with chinese dragons and then a n acrylic windows and then another mdf dragen layer.

colors were rust and metal worn look with lots of deep reds and blacks and browns.

intenstity was key. the terracotta army however should be alittle lighter and more on the coppery bronzy side to set them off in contrast against the red maroon black details.

the armour plates were all painted along with the case with sand in the initial emulsion coat and them with wood stain aftzer painting to give them a worn out while still shiny look with clear lacker as the last layer.

my god, watching these fotos and püosting them reminds me what an odyssey of details this was. whew, feel tired again

now you can slowly see where the colour scheme is going, the gold is present but not dominating, the blacks are opresent bur not too dark, the reds are visually recognisable but dont pop out too muich and the browns and rust are omni present showing the age while not doing too much to hide it. the clear laquer really sets all the colours off afterwards.

am also glad i sued sand in the initial coats, that roughens it all up and weathers it down for the old 2200 year old but restored look.

here is the evolution of the halberts, that were scred underneath the parapetss.

i cut them from acrylic because its harder, to chmfer and sand of really sharp but rugged edges. i used a broom stick halved for the handles and worbla strips to indicate or give to give the illusion of them being bound to the stave. even stuck worbla dragons on them before the paintjob. they really turned out great.a
