Wrecked Car
24th July 2024
Next up was the resin wrecked car. I gave this a wash with warm soapy water prior to priming it with the rest of the minis. As usual I dithered somewhat on a colour, but ended up deciding that I wanted to go for metallic blue. As such I mixed up a colour using a gun metal and a blue air paint and applied it with my airbrush (not very experienced user).
I think I may have used a touch too much thinner on this. But luckily, with it being a wrecked car I can work around some of the blemishes.
So next I applied contrast black to the interior, wheels, wreckage parts etc. However, It wasn’t until I put down the first coat of leather onto the seats that it started to come together somewhat.
From there it was several stages of picking out the detail (which is pretty nice on this resin piece), scratches, girders, crashed bike and wash basin (…?), lights, windscreen and such.
I wasn’t sure how to approach the glass but in the end I used a technique similar to that for painting gems, but just in grey. Lightening at the bottom section, with a highlight across the top. With a gloss varnish I think it comes out ok.
