A long time ago at a Hobby Weekend far far away…
Getting back to it…
Spring turned to summer and eventually I found the time to pin wash the Walker. It immediately became obvious that accessing the areas below the head would be impossible so I ‘deconstructed’ a little further and removed the head, along with the weapons.
With the head out of the way I followed the same process I had used on the downed walker. This meant spraying with gloss varnish and then going back to the Mig Ammo pin wash. I started working around the legs and chassis….
… and then continued onto the head and weapons. It has to be said that the head was a piece of cake compared to the legs, which required a lot of surface work!
Leaving the head off for the time being, I broke out the Modelmates that I had employed on the downed Walker. I wasn’t intending to do anything like the amount of breakdown I had done to the wrecked version, but felt a little rust here and there would break up the greyness.
Using the Modelmates I added some small areas of rust around any bolts or grills that looked susceptible to weather damage. Oil streaks and stains were then added anywhere you might get leaking fluids!
Legion! Yeah!
Always!
