With the B1 squads completed, I turned my attention back to the STAP’s.

I lightly glued the STAP cassis to a couple of spare flight stands and used a can of Mechanicum Grey to prime them.

I had recently been given an airbrush by Hazyboy and figured this would be a quick way to achieve a decent paint scheme.

I had never tried pre shading before but had seen some great examples of this technique on the OTT site and wanted to have a go at it.

Flipping the STAP’s upside down I airbrushed Corvus Black on the rear and lower part of the chassis. I then turned the models back the right way up and applied Dawnstone for the mid tones. Finally I used a zenith of White Scar, this time working from the front and keeping the airbrush above the model.

Once this had fully dried I gave the whole model a thin coat of Karak Stone. I aimed to cover the entire model but by working from above and horizontal to the model, I was able to leave some of the darker shadows on the underside and in the deepest recesses.

Sticking with the palette I had used for the B1’s where possible, I used Contrast Black Templar on the inner frame of the chassis and gun barrels.
