Dreadball Spring Clean Hobby Challenge 2022
Base Coating (19/3/22)
The first weekend of the spring challenge is here and I wanted to get as much prep work done as I could. I was out all day Sunday so I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked. Friday after work I got all the priming done, and then Saturday I buckled down and got as much airbrush base coating done as I could. Everything below was done as lazily and quickly as I could with an airbrush, unless I’ve said otherwise. Maximum results for minimum time and effort is the guiding principal here.
Purple flesh tones base coated with VMC 70.960 Violet. Later to be washed with Nuln Oil
Blue cloth based with VMC 70.899 Dark prussian Blue
Colour Shift Turbo Dork Blue Raspberry for the asterian. The Shiny Red Robot as undercoated with Steel and drybrushed with silver (Dunno if preshading matter here?) and then given a few coats of Mission models MMP-148 Pearl Red. I Put one coat all over, then added more coats from the sides and then only from above
Vallejo colour shifters applied over a gloss black undercoat: 77.0707 Pearl Violet, and 77018 Dark Green Tin
P3 Thrall Flesh. This was also applied as a base coat to the upcoming yellow model at the same time
Even base coat of AK11079 Burn orange, then side and downward coats of AK11078 Medium Orange. Some AK11076 Pastel Peach was added to the previous colour and used as a highlight
I tried applying the yellow over a standard zenithal preshade, but the black was too strong. A coat of P3 Thrall Flesh fixed this, and looked good as a shade colour. I'll have to remember that for the future. Hataka Model paints tend to be a bit thin for my tastes at the best of times. Based with Hataka B088 Insignia (orange) yellow. Zenithal with hataka B104 Traffic yellow. Then added some Scale75 Hykey Yellow to that, and did a highlight spray.
Base coat was mostly P3 Frostbite, with just a hint of P3 Exile Blue and P3 Skorne Red
Based with AP Mars Red, then highlighted with a mix of Mars Red and P3 Khador Red Highlight.
Based with Mission models MMM-002 Cold Rolled Steel. I then drybrushed all (I think. Might just have been the ref and the shiny red guy above?) with P3 Cold Steel.
