Global Gunslinger League : Tesla's Warmachine
Assembly, Base Coat and Test Colors
Worked on it a little more tonight. Had some minimal greenstuff from a bubble on Tesla’s chest. then I assembled the model and installed him on the base it came with; I only used a small amount of glue so I can change him on the bigger base once I get it. However, for now, having him on a base will make it easier to work with. I also decided not to glue the front grate in order to paint Tesla’s face with more detail and to paint dials in his cockpit.
I’m not sure about the coil on top of the mech, but I think it does add to the klunkiness of the model. This doesn’t look like a nimble machine.
Next step was a basecoat and since I wanted to go for bare metal prototype mech, I went for black as it’s the best for metallic colors.
I started working on the steel of the right leg (Army Painter’s Plate Mail Metal). I, however, didn’t like that most of the leg was steel. So I did a little test on the left leg by painting the armor plates blue (Army Painter’s Ultramarine Blue) and added a little bronze (P3 Molten Bronze).
Test color scheme : bare metal or blueI like the armor plate blue as it’s going to be more fun to paint and as more contrast to the model.
That’s it for tonight, have a good weekend!
