Plague Drone of Nurgle

I always liked Nurgle... the ugly, dirty and sick side of Chaos. For some reason I like rotting flesh and maggots, bile and boils. It's just fun to paint. So... I just had to pick a Plague Drone of Nurgle as soon as I've seen it. It's a great model and really, really fun to paint. I did some work on the body to cover the gaps and to add more texture in some places. I also wanted to make something special for it... a new, better set of wings. So I took some 0.5mm clear plastic and some green stuff and made them from scratch.



 And the wings...



 It's time for some paint. I've started with a Vallejo Acrylic-Polyurethane Surface Primer (light gray). I love this stuff because I can apply it with airbrush and don't bother with spray cans any more. It's fast and great surface for work. Then I airbrushed a thin coat of bright flesh paint not bothering to cover the whole area. I've made some basic shadows with Vallejo Model Air Tank Brown paint. I've started to apply thin glazes of various colors to liven up the body; blues, reds and purples. With blues I focused more on the shadows. This is a result after couple of glazes.

 I've continued adding more colors and started to work on the carapace. I've painted the legs in similar fashion.

 I did some work on the wings...



 I've painted the Plague Bearer in similar colors as the Drones body.

So before I base him and take some proper photos... here it is!!!
