Minbari colour scheme

[Iain McGhee]

Has anyone got any tips on painting Minbari ?

I've just painted mine the light blue colour you see the Sharlin on the products page for now, but I can't decide on the best way to approximate the ships on the show. I normally use Games Workshop and Revell acrylics.

(Please keep it simple !)

paint them a mix of skull white and enchanted blue, then drybrush them by adding more skull white in the mix. If you feel the need to, give them a really really watered down blue ink, then drybush them with the last drybrush mix you made. The slightly green tinged ones, use watered down green ink instead of blue, otherwise keep it the same.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot later.

For those that have seen my Minbari at Origins, I used a simple FolkArt metallic blue paint over grey primer. It catches the light in all the right places while being blue in the shadows.

If I get a chance I'll post them to the gallery.
