The yellow recipe was painted with an airbrush using:
GW "Golden Yellow" (GY)
GY + VMC "Light Yellow" (LY) 2:1
GY + LY 1:1
LY
This was shaded with a glaze of GW "Dark Flesh" generously thinned and likewise applied with the airbrush. Preshading was done with a mix of black and GW "Dark Green" with just a tiny touch of the latter.
Photos were taken in natural, diffused light. Lack of shadows in the backgrounds gives an idea of how the shading/highlighting actually turned out. The last two images do a good job of showing the more subtle transitions.
Decals and the engine are next - weathering will come later.

that looks nice. i absolutely dread doing light colours, especially on large surfaces.
The airbrush made this a breeze - no pun intended.
very nice, great results.
I need to dig out the old airbrush and get practicing.

Very nice.
I hate hand brushing yellows (and I have a Yellow /White SM and a Yellow / Green Eldar Army ). So I always use the airbrush to lay down the base color.
Ditto that - even the yellow helmets on my Swords of Sanguinius army are a pain. My sympathies to you for your two yellow schemed armies.
I'm pleased enough with this recipe that I'm thinking about trying a squad of Imperial Fists though....
