Bones and teeth were painted P3 Jack bone, washed with GW Seraphim Sepia, and then drybrsuhed with P3 menoth White Base.
The Terminator guns are often coloured the same as the shoulder pads so I tried to paint them the same was I did with the shoulder. A wash/glaze/thin paint over zenithal preshade. However 300 coats in (I might be exaggerating) and the corners were not retaining any colour but the detail was starting to be burried. I had 2 choices here: Start again or find a way to fix it.
I thought I’d try John’s sponge weathering along the lines hoping that once that was there the black undercoat showing through would look like the paint had worn through and the undercoat was starting to show though. I sponged on a little VMC 302 Dark Rust and German Grey and it looked much better. Later on when highlighting the iron I also drybrushed these edges with a tiny amount of P3 Cold Steel in places.
