Last month’s Lost Hemisphere “Paint the Target” challenge was to paint a full unit. I was thinking about painting my Raptors until I looked at all of hose pieces of pewter in early July and decided that assembling them was going to be too much hassle. I was busy with work and home life (2 month old son and nearly 3 year old daughter!), so I was also behind listening to my podcasts. I sat down on the 19th July to put a bit of paint on Harkevich and listened to Ep31 of Lost Hemisphere Radio. There, towards the end of the episode, it was – G’Day Bloke calling me out on my promise to paint my Raptors. Doh! I got to work, assembled them over the next two nights and got them undercoated. I used the underpainting technique and painted them over the next two nights, finishing on the 23rd – two days before the deadline. Phew!
I’m really pleased with them and it was worth the big push in the end to get them finished.
I had hoped to paint Annyssa Ryvaall too, but I thought getting five Raptors from pieces to painted in four days was going to be enough of a challenge! I’ll tackle her another day…

Wow that looks really good. What colors did you use for the armor plates?
Thanks. I ‘grey scaled’ the whole model using a medium grey and they drybrushing up to white. On the armour I then glazed it using the Asurmen Blue Citadel wash. The trim of the armour is picked out with Mithril Silver.
