Update on Battlewagon

 I've gotten most of the mid-tone yellow done and worked in the racing stripes. 

Now it's top yellow... and then maybe battle damage?  We'll see. 

Get Your Paint On!

 I was working along, doing my day job when I heard a faint whisper. . . 

"... racing striiiiipes..." 

"... racing striiiipes..."

"I need racing striiiiipes..." 

And so here we are... :D

Get your paint on!

50/50 Start

 Starting to add the depth layer, it adds some strength to the yellow mid-tone I put down. 

So far I've added a thin 50/50 layer of Averand Sunset and Vallejo Flat Yellow to the wheels, guards hanging over the back tracks and started on the side paneling.  The yellow color looks a bit "smoother" and just a touch brighter.  It's a subtle add, and I will do the entire tank.  

After this 50/50 layer I will do another thin layer with only Vallejo Flat Yellow in certain locations to make the paint pop.... but one thing at a time...

I building up layers of "age" concentrated in hard to reach / clean places.  After all.... these vehicles are maintained by small, spiteful, little jerks who will do just enough to avoid being beaten or worse. 

Get your paint on!

Back in the saddle again...

 After months of not really painting anything, due (mostly) to a return to work.  I have finally begun to carve out some time for me.  

I have picked up the Battle Wagon again and I'm making progress with the 'mid-tone'. 

Almost done with the mid tone, this show the transition area from the base coat with wash (right side) and the mid tone over it.  It's a bit rough still, but it's early days. 

Battlewagon Started!

 The Battlewagon is primed (black), basecoated (Averland Sunset) and washed (Agrax Earthshade).

This provides a good "base color" for the model.  Now I will go back and start layering Averland Sunset to try to build up the yellow color but also to leave some dingy / dirty areas where dirt/dust/grease/grime has accumulated.  

Also, start working on the crew. 

On a side note, I cleaned my work space and put down new brown paper... really treated myself.

Fun to paint and to finish.  Next I'm going to work on finishing my Warhammer 40K Ork Battle Wagon, which has sat primed and base coated on my paint table for years!  

Also, I've been making strong work on my Fuel Canister scenery.. look for that to be finished in the next couple of days!
