Into the Underheck!
WIP it. WIP it good!
“It’s not plagiarism, it’s research.” My method comes from a few YouTubers, mostly Wellywood Wargaming, Mediocre Hobbies and Sonic Sledgehammer (all worth your attention if this hobby is your hobby).
I’ve taken the sprayed who knows how long ago bits and drybrushed with Model Colour Flat Brown, Citadel Ryza Rust and Citadel Leadbelcher. I’ve gone with miniature paints as their coverage is better. Other hobby paints do have their place but I value my time also.
The first stage: rusty coloursOne very good piece of advice I got from one of the sources above was that the goal is not to accurately portray rust, just give a good impression of it. That’s going to be a big time saver.
The next stage was to dig out the crap brushes and stab in some flat colour. Here again I’m not going for a perfect two thin coats, but an impression (that word again) of knackered paintwork. Similarly I’ve skipped the bracing as adding paint to the panels is … well I reckon it’s enough.
One crap coatUp close it doesn’t look great, but on the table it’ll never get the close attention it’ll get in the project system. Also there’s an oil wash to go on.
