Bot War Painting Challenge 2021 - Atlanticans Rising
Day 1...
Got to start somewhere
Cleaned and glued, and ready to get the show on the roadAnd we’re off, this is the start and I’ll be honest, it already took me longer than planned. The models are lovely and crisply detailed, and everything went together really easily. The resin kits come in a lot fewer parts than the original metal designs, so these were a doddle to get assembled compared to the Builders from my project last year (only the big boy here got pinned).
I’ve left the bases off for now as I’m still not sure how I want to do them, and I find it easier using corks or hobby crocodile clips to hold the feet so you can twist the model in all directions whilst priming to get into all the nooks and crannies.
The priming was done with a black Stynelrez base, and a lateral spray with Vallejo Mecha Ivory. I went with ivory instead of white as I wanted a slightly warmer starting point as I know I’ll be hitting these with yellow imminently. In fact I had a quick go seeing how Citadel’s Iyanden Yellow Contrast paint looked over the ivory through the airbrush. I’m not sure if I will do the rest in it yet, I’ll let it all dry and check back tomorrow.
Day 1 done.
