BY DOMINIC MURRAY

Page: 1|2|3|4|5

Farmer Maggot

Farmer Maggot
Scythe
Steps 1 - 3
1

Paint Farmer Maggot's scythe handle with Scorched Brown.
2

Pick out the lines of wood grain in Bestial Brown.
3

To finish off, paint a fine highlight of Vomit Brown on top of the Bestial Brown.

Farmer Maggot has a more rustic look than most Hobbits. We'll show you a few special techniques like how to get the appearance of natural fabric on his smock and how to achieve a wood grain effect on the scythe.

We'll also show you several techniques for painting Maggot's dogs Grip, Fang, and Wolf. We'll show you how to paint two-tone coats on the dogs and a few additional quick tricks to make your models stand out.
Smock

Basecoat the smock with Graveyard Earth.
2

Apply a layer of Desert Yellow. Leave some Graveyard Earth showing in the recesses. Next, apply a highlight of Kommando Khaki.
