This set of Devastators was painted with the usual dip method. The one new technique I tried was using decals for the Dark Angel shoulder pad insignia. As much as I enjoy playing around with the occasional free-hand design, I know that there is no way that I could do an acceptable job with the highly symmetrical and structured Angel Winged Sword. I am quite pleased with the final result! The one tip I picked up is that in order for the decal to adhere to the highly curved shoulder pad, it needs to be scored. Diagonal cuts create flaps, which allow the decal to wrap on itself, allowing it to become convex. The end result really does look painted on and I will certainly be using decals in the future.
Next up, we look to the skies..
