The Vorlon Empire

Here it is. My Vorlon Fleet!

It was by far the most complex fleet I ever painted. It took several layers and details to get this look. But I'm pretty satisfied. I think they look awesome!

The engines glowing. I'm really proud of how they turned out.

The main guns. Here too we can see a nice glow (!)

The escorts

If anyone is interested on that paint scheme, here it is:

- Flat black primer

- 3 layers of Revel Enamel Yellow 16

- Revell Enamel Green 42 spilled over the models with a tooth brush, to create the random dots

- Again, the Yellow 16 to correct with random dots the spots where too much green 42 was spilled

- Wash Vallejo Sephia Shade all over

- Highlights with the Yellow 16. The highlights consisted of, again, aleatory dots on the high parts, to make them standup

- Engines with Revell Enamel Orange 30. On the center, I used a little white, to give contrast.

- On the inner side of the tentacles, I used Revell Enamel Purple 54, later drybrushed over with Revell Enamel light blue 50.

- The Vorlon symbols were done with Revell Enamel Dark Grey SM 378, the border lines with light grey SM 374, and the red symbol with red 31.

- Finally, I washed the grey area of the symbol with GW Badab Black

And that was pretty much it. A tip for those willing to try this toothbrush technique at home: Make sure your wifeslashgirlfriendslashmother is not at home when you do that. Trust me, it gets messy...
