Crawl out through the Fallout...
Barrels! So many rusty yellow barrels...
If you have played a Bethesda Fallout game you will probably recall that there is something of an obsession with yellow barrels.
They are everywhere, leaking radioactive toxic waste all over the environment. So I found a pack to litter my gaming tables with!
Like the missile silo, I bought these at the Colours show from a little company called The Square. Honestly they were pretty rough resin casts but they were also cheap so can’t complain too much I guess. I did do a bit of rough greenstuff work on some air pockets and barrel rims, I didn’t worry about the finish as I was going to weather the hell out of them anyway.
These were spray primed with Army Painter Demonic Yellow. Next I painted the earth in an earthy brown and dry brushed up using Bacchus basing kit paints to my Wasteland desert look.
I added the stripe with Vallejo Ivory (again not worrying about being neat) then weathered.
These were slathered with a liberal but watered down covering of Citadel Typhus Corrosion followed by Ryza Rust. I the dry brushed a little bit of Army Painter Plate Metal Silver over them.
As a final touch I painted on a few dribbles of leaking green ooze using Vallejo Scorpion green. It’s the shame colour I use on the Super Mutants to get that vibrant toxic look Gerry found so shocking. 😉
As some of the casting had left the odd crack or air bubble I had a half assed go at addressing, I turned some of those defects into splits and leaks in the barrels.
