When you say "cloth" are you talking about the undersuit? If so, it was a deliberate decision to not paint it a different colour from the rest of the more armour-plated kinda bits. 2 reasons, really:
1) theyre not feckin aspect warriors.
2) If i do em 2 tone, then I cant airbrush them half as easily. Overall painting time would rocket.
If you mean the loincloths, then my colour management must be really wack, as the loincloths are whitish/earth and the armour is dark red/black.
As for the guns - yeah, they are the same colour as the armour. I hummed and hawwed about painting them differently to the armour, but in the end I already have too many colours on the models, and adding another woulda just made it even blinger than it already is. I considered painting the guns mostly gold, but I reckon that much gold would be overpowering. As it is, I quite like the mostly-red-with-touches-of-turquoise look. The gold/turq combo looks quite pharonic, I reckon.
The blood on the loincloths was a last minute idea, actually. I was gore-ing up the bases, and when I stuck the first mini onto the base the loincloth looked really stark against the blood on the ground and I thought "surely it would splash?"
out came the paintbrush again...
anyway - thanks for the input. Im off to nagano tomorrow, so i wont be online for a coupla days. enjoy the nagoya game on sunday
ps I have just discovered in the past 10 mins that raider keels are just the right size and curvature to make nice blinged up skyboard wings. jammin
