Welcome to the Nitty Gritty City Committee... We've got cookies
Dusted with rust, dripping with filth
I got the painting for the walls and barricades done some time ago (coming off Orktober), perhaps a month or two if the Unofficial Weekender be looked at again, and I have thought to look back at this project. I realized I had indeed screwed up and forgot to add in the pictures for the progress. Here is what its come to be so far.
I’ve done the initial priming with Mr. Hobby Ueno Black which is a high gloss acrylic that is typically used in the arena of Gundam modellers. Going about thinning of this stuff with lacquer thinner, sometimes the proprietary thinner, is none too pleasant for the fumes. I’ll be glad for what I build slowly for my airbrush venting. Over all that I’ve put down a layer of VMC Oily Steel (865) and then dusted with various pigments from Secret Weapon and sealed with varnish.
Shiny!Thinking that this stuff looked a little too clean I hit it with Tamiya’s black panel wash and then AK Interactive effects (streaking grime and rain) to let the grittiness build in the environment. For the base box set I think its enough before I fully commit to a complete environment build that will be more involved.
The attached video is not for the faint of heart, power noise is intense and rapidly changing images might instigate seizures, but it hits the nail on the head for the spirit of the grimdark arena of gang battles within the Underhive of Necromunda.
