The Thin Beige Line
Finishing the AAT
Due to the size of the AAT base I applied large patches of sand before priming. This would save me using an entire pot of the Agrellan Dust I use for basing! The usual Agrax wash and Screaming Skull combo I’ve used throughout this project was worked over the top and finished off with some tufts.
I continued to work over the weathering and detail with the Rhinox hide and Ironbreaker. I hadn’t intended to break the paint job down too much and kept the damage to the prow, rocket vents and moving parts around the turret.
Once I was satisfied with the weathering the whole model was given a couple of thin coats of Matt varnish, to counter the gloss used in the previous entry. This was thinned with water (about 60/40 in favour of the varnish), and applied through the airbrush. This is a great way to varnish your models, especially when working in something this size!
Remember this guy? He had been painted along with the hoard of B1’s. With a magnet on his base and another on the underside of the turret, he dropped snugly into place and would be removable in the event of my building an alternative tank commander (of course this is on the cards).
With this done the AAT was ready to join the rest of the ‘Clankers’
