Began spraying my 15mm wasteland terrain. It was a beautiful morning first thing - took my stuff outside to spray - and the moment I was ready, the wind picked up!
Nevertheless, you can see an encouraging example of the results from the first coat below.
Wasteland Outpost - Rusty WIP
The Krylon Matt Warm Aubegine has worked out really well - available from Hobbycraft for just £4.99.
I like the colour and as there will be plenty left am seriously considering using it as part of a two-tone scheme on some of my Sci Fi armour.
I intend giving the terrain bases another coat of Warm Aubergine in a short while before applying some dark washes of GW Devlan Mud, artist acrylic Burnt Umber. The rust effect will be created with artist acrylics Mars Orange.
TIP: Cheap & effective turntable from a styrene Pizza packaging base
Update:
I'm very impressed by the even and smooth finish of the Krylon spray. The instructions on the can recommended spraying from 25cm, but I found the coverage was too light, so held the can much closer with no adverse effects. I tell you, I'd paint all my tanks with this stuff if possible!
Cheers

Mark, given the strong winds, do you now have rusty laundry ? :D
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the completed, rusted pieces.
At last! A use for Aubegine that doesn't include a feature wall!
ReplyDeleteReally impressed looking forward to the finished product.

Nice Job. Time for me to start toy scavenging perhaps? I've had similarly good results with Krylon. I use the Ruddy Brown Primer (looks similar $4 USD) as the primer and base color for my guardsmen.
ReplyDeleteUnrelatedly, where can I find the dropship in your banner?
One question: Do you plan on covering / filling up those rivet holes Mark ?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the enthusiastic responses!
ReplyDeleteThe Dropship in the banner is an OOP Peter Pig BOMAG Dropship.
No Piotr - absolutely NO intention filling in the rivet holes or filing MADE IN CHINA off the car chassis :-)
This is a FUN project not a modelling exercise. I'm deliberately going for an overall look rather than terrain masterpieces.
Cheers
