One AT-ST finished. 11-25-2018
So I’ve finished one AT-ST. I should start the other one soon. I’m pretty happy with the result. My only problem is that the varnish I used cracked because I sprayed it in too cold an environment. I used my non-heated workshop for spraying it and it’s already winter here so… Lessons learned.
Otherwise I used a pretty basic technique. Once I was happy with my undercoat as described below, I used Citadel’s Agrax Earthsade to wash the entire model. I mixed in about 50% water and flow improver to thin it down. Once that was dry I did a pin wash, of 25% Nuln Oil to 75% Agrax Earthshade. I used that only in the deepest recesses. I also used that for the grills and added some streaks and drips where I thought they would appear on a machine.
Once that was thoroughly dry I drybrushed a mix of 50% AP Matt White and P3 Ironhull Grey all over. And that’s it for the painting part.
I based everything with flock etc. It was then up for the varnish with first a good coat of gloss spray-on varnish and then 2 coats of matt varnish to bring it back from down from the shininess.
And that’s it one AT-ST done.
