A Quick Steel Rift
Paint up the Freelancers
Primed em all black with the airbrush. Decided against the spray can to get into all the nooks and crannies without loading paint on other areas.
Deep red base. I'll follow up with two brighter reds with top down coverage.
Oil "pin" wash the recesses and raised panels. No time or care for a gloss coat before the wash. If you believe in douching your mini in oil then wiping it off, you ought to try this. I believe it looks better and is faster because of the minimal to no cleanup.
Highlighted red and wash done. Shiny. Now to pick out some highlight color.
Put some orange on a few parts to break it up and painted the windows with some bright blue.
Added some decals for kill markings.
Matte varnish, metal on the guns/lasers and color to the missiles. These could be brought up another few levels by panel lining, edge highlighting and picking out parts of the joints and undercarriage. But only got a week to get this done and it is always something you can come back to. One force done.
