Stormcrow and Viper of the Delta Galaxy

Delta Galaxy's greys and blues

As we had seen here before, Delta's scheme was grey with blue highlights. In this first stage I thought that this time I wasn't going to go for a spectacular camo but leave it mostly grey. Thinking of it, the Mongrel's camo scheme didn't stand out that much.

The grey mass

Over the black primer I overbrushed a layer of my trustworthy Cold Grey (VGA 72750) and allowed the shadowed lower parts to remain darker.

 

To bring out the surface details I drybrushed all this with Stonewall Grey (VGA 72749). Again, I let the shadows be.

Highlighting in blue

This time I used UK Mediterranean Blue (VMA 71111) for highlights and just did some panels and chunks based on my gut feeling. The Stormcrow had fewer pieces that called my attention, especially in the back, so I thought I'd give the hands something new.

Viper already had more blue bits, so I thought the hands also being blue might've been a bit much, so I left them as they were. Another option was to paint them steel grey, if the lighter grey was a bit too much.

I purposefully left enough bits grey so I'd have space to mess up my Clan and Cluster insignias instead of painting some blue on another shade of blue. This showed that I actually learned something from Doomguy Urbie's UAC insignia.

This stuff took about half an hour and that made me decide to roughly track the time usage in the posts again. It had been years since I did that the last time. Time spent: 30mins.
