This model was a bit of an experiment in airbrush blending. Using Vallejo Game Air I first hit it with Ultramarine. Then blended in Goblin Green. Finally used White. I also tried using a new airbrush - the Badger Xtreme Patriot. It's a lot like the Patriot 105 which to date has been my airbrush. The difference is that it's setup out of the box with the black ball fine detail needle, the tip is exposed, and it has a screw regulator to control the amount of air going through the tip.
The Ultramarine I used the Patriot and did the entire model. Then I switched over to the Xtreme Patriot with the Goblin Green and reduced the airflow quite a bit and I think that worked out rather well. The the White - the White just failed me because it wanted to splatter even though I have a mix of about 60% white, 20% flow, and 20% thinner. I had to increase more flow and thinner.
Overall not bad - it was a good practice model to enhance my skills.
The conversion to artwork by Gemini is okay - it really lost the amount of blue that's in the model. I had to ask Gemini to add some back in - the final result...
