Manda's (Amachan) Post-Apocalyptic Terrain

These are the Corvega’s from Modiphius for Fallout: Wasteland Warfare. I primed both the top and the bottom in black. I painted the top in Vallejo Model Air Rust (71.080) and the bottom in Vallejo Metal Color Burnt Iron (77.721). I then gloss coated the top and then that was dry I painted a layer of Vallejo Chipping Medium (73.214) over that.

With the chipping medium dry, I started to basecoat the Corvega’s. The orange one is painted in Vallejo Model Color Light Orange (70.911) and blue/green one is painted in Vallejo Game Color Verdigris (72.096) with the white panel being Vallejo Model Air Aged White (71.132). These were done with the airbrush and because they are a relatively thin coat the chipping medium is starting to crack the paint a bit. I then painted the chrome bits with Vallejo Model Air Chrome (71.064). After dry, I went over it with a wet brush, rubbing it until I was happy with the amount of paint that has come off. When dry, I will coat them with a gloss varnish to protect the now very fragile paint.

With a gloss coat done, I coated the rear radiator thingy in Vallejo Metal Color Burnt Iron (77.721) and the head and tail lights in Vallejo Model Air Silver RLM01 (71.063). I then painted all of the windows with Vallejo Game Color Black (72.051). I then coated the radiator thingy with Vallejo Model Wash Rust (76.506) and the head and tail lights with Vallejo Model Color Transparent Yellow (70.937), Vallejo Model Color Transparent Orange (70.935) & Vallejo Model Color Transparent Red (70.934) on the different lights. I then stippled on some Vallejo Pigments New Rust (73.118) with a little bit Vallejo Model Wash Rust (76.506) on the exposed spots to add some texture and colour to the rust effects. This however makes me think why the hell did I choose orange for one of the cars.

After another gloss coat I applied a coat of MIG Neutral Wash (P222) with my airbrush over both Corvega’s. I let that dry for about an hour and then rubbed most of it off using an old piece of cloth. After another gloss coat I started applying some weathering streaks on the Corvegas using AK Interactive Rust Streaks (AK 013), AK Interactive Streaking Grime (AK 012) and AK Interactive Dust Effects (AK 015). After applying them I thinned and streaked them out with some odourless thinner to create this effect.

For the bottoms I painted the front bumper in Vallejo Model Air Rust (71.080) and covered that with a gloss coat when dry. I covered the rest of the bottoms with a coat of Vallejo Model Wash Rust (76.506) and dabbed a bit of the wash with some Vallejo Panzer Aces Light Rust (70.301) into the wheel hubs. I coated the bumper in Vallejo Chipping Medium (73.214) and when dry painted it with Vallejo Model Air Chrome (71.064). After that had dried I wet the surface and started chipping the surface with a wet brush and then removed the excess water from the model. I let that dry a little and added bits of Citadel Technical Typhus Corrosion (99189956010) in the exposed areas followed by some Vallejo Model Wash Rust (76.506) over that and a couple of corners.

After completely varnishing the assembled models I covered the windows with a gloss varnish. When dry I covered the windows with AK Interactive Dust Effects (AK 015) and let that dry for about an hour and wiped most of it away for a nice dusty effect on the windows. Once that is fully cured the Corvega’s are done.
