Hopefully this uploads this time round, but here is the sequel to the Big Blue Meanie (still currently called Jeffrey)! Now with more blue! The painting method I use for vehicles is a little different from that of my infantry, particularly here where we have some already painted stuff that can get in the way of a drybrush.

The first stage is to get the basecoat on. As a famous man once said; 'two thin coats'. A smooth, solid colour is what you want here. In a few places I put it on a bit thick, but the overall look works for me. Obviously, I used Macragge Blue here, but you can choose different colours for different chapters.The first stage is to get the basecoat on. As a famous man once said; 'two thin coats'.

Next a recess shade of Nuln Oil. This will take longer than an all over, but the large flat panels will pool the shade much more, so in the long run this is just a bit easier.Next a recess shade of Nuln Oil.

Then a final VERY careful drybrush of Calgar Blue. This really adds that edge to the model with little effort, though edge highlighting is always an option, but will take a bit more time.Then a final VERY careful drybrush of Calgar Blue.

And there is the blue part done! Just a few other details like gun casings and gold details left to do!
