British 8th Army Konflikt '47
Tesla Turret Emplacement
The Tesla Turret Emplacement starts from the techniques/colors described in the Picking Paint Schemes post and it finished off with the following elements:
- Bastion Grey (Formula P3) is used for the concrete base under the turret.
- A dry-brushing of black is applied to the power plant stacks to give them a smoke stained look.
- Brown Tamiya Panel Liner is used to darken and accent inset corners and panels lines. It is similar to using a wash but capillary will draw it through channels in the model rather than slathering it over the whole thing.
- Hashut Copper (Citadel) is used for piping and metal accents of the Tesla weapon system and power plant.
- The glow of the Tesla weapon is done with a base of white and then washed with a thinned down Arcane Blue (Forumla P3)
- Secret Weapon Pigments Dark Yellow is used as a weathering powder around the lower parts of the power plant and the concrete pad to give it a sand caked appearance. This powder is a bit more yellow than my basing colors but I feel it still fits in well enough. I believe the Secret Weapon brand is no longer in production but other brands should have similar pigments.
- The grass tufts are Mountain Tufts (the brown ones) and Jungle Tufts (the green ones) are from The Army Painter.
