Barc Speeder

July 17, 2023

17th July 2023

As the title suggests I have been working on the barc speeders and crew.

I made up a mix of apothecary white and contrast medium in order to add a grey tint to the vehicles, and add some definition to the panel lines.

Wash mix on just the sidecar

While the wash was drying it was onto the crew. They were painted in the same way as the rest of the clones.

Armour wash, tidy up, black bodysuit work, tidy up, yellow accents and a tidy up again 😀

Obviously though I didn’t finish them all while the Speeder was drying, but I alternated between tasks.

Back to the Speeder I again used the yellow to pick out panels and sections so that it had the army colour scheme.

It was however seemingly a little too clean, so I decided to try adding some weathering. I was a little nervous of doing this to the freshly painted Speeder, but the work I did weathering my Deadzone terrain gave me some confidence to give it a go.

I started off with some white streaks, then added further streaks with greys, browns and thinned black to build it up. Concentrating on the front of the Speeder with a little less on the front of the sidecar.

Added further scratches to various places along the edges of the Speeder and side car, and overall I was pretty happy with how it came out.

For the base I used some twigs from the garden and some basing tufts.
