Let's just say I'm a big fan
Lol, we are nice and bright aren't we


So, the next step is the wash stage, oh boy did I cock this up


What you see here is an example of how strong the Carroburg Crimson wash is. Now I will add a bit of context to the picture, the lighter ship on the right, is washed with a 50/50 Carroberg medium mix, this is way darker than the studio models that Gary and Martin painted. My first attempt with out Gary advice was Carroburg straight! Needless to say that was a full repaint

Garys guidance, was that you use Carroburg Crimson thinned down and paint two coats over the models, which the one on the left is, but I didn't thin down my Crimson enough and it's way too dark. This shows how heavy the pigment in this wash actually is!
So next time around, I will be using a much thinner wash of Carroberg to medium, maybe around 75% medium because it's always easier to add on then take away. These ships however will stay as they are, the lighter ship has had an extra wash to bring it inline with its sister ship.
Did someone say learning curve
