BILBO BAGGINS
An
equal parts mix of Chaos Black and Scorched Brown was used to paint the trousers.
Bleached Bone with a small amount of Fortress Grey was then applied for the
highlight stages.
After
painting Bilbo's shirt with Bleached Bone, it was then highlighted with Skull
White. The cravat was painted with an equal parts basecoat mix of Dark Angels
Green and Fortress Grey and highlighted by adding a small amount of Fortress
Grey to the mix for each successive stage.
A
basecoat mix of equal parts Red Gore and Blood Red, to which a small amount
of Scorched Brown had been added, was used to paint the waistcoat. To highlight
this an equal quantity of Blood Red was mixed into the original basecoat, followed
by small amounts of Bronzed Flesh for successive highlights. Once this was dry,
the jacket was given a thinned down wash of Red ink. The gold buttons were painted
with an equal quantity mix of Shining Gold and Mithril Silver.
To
paint Bilbo's dinner jacket, a basecoat of Red Gore and Chaos Black was applied.
Making an equal parts mix of Red Gore and Bleached Bone, this was then added
in roughly equal quantities to the original basecoat mix. For successive highlights,
small amounts of Bleached Bone were added to the mix before giving the jacket
a thinned-down glaze with a mix of Red Ink and Chestnut Ink.
The green lapels of the jacket were painted with a basecoat mix of Goblin Green
and Scorched Brown, with a touch of Bleached Bone for the highlight stages.
Fortress
Grey was used to paint the pages of the book. The outer cover was given a basecoat
of Red Gore and highlighted by adding a small amount of Bronzed Flesh to this.
The star on the cover was painted with Mithril Silver.
Bilbo's
hair was painted with a basecoat of Codex Grey to which a small amount of Scorched
Brown had been added. This was then highlighted by adding Skull White. These
colours were also used to paint Bilbo's feet. The hair on his feet was then
painted using the same method.
The
area around the ring received a mix of Dwarf Flesh and Chaos black to give contrast
to the ring, which was painted with Shining Gold.
