Having themed terrain is awesome. Having a 6 x 4 Board is awesome.
Having them theme matched is extremely awesome.
Having to paint them to match is dull as fuck.
GREY?! BROWN?!
You know it.
So the day I updated this project last time round I thought I'd start doing the grey layers.
Same(ish) recipe as always; Dark grey > Medium Grey > Light grey > Wash black > Final Brybrush.
(There are a couple of layers in between each stage but you get the idea)
Towards the end of last week (Friday?) |I started on the browns.
Same principle as with the grey, just with added dabbing and stippling on the ship itself to give it a weathered look;

The metal was easier than I'd anticipated.
The original layers were; Brown > Tin Bitz > Boltgun metal > Chainmail > Brown/Black wash
So to bring it back up after the basing layers got on it I gave it a heavy drybrush of Boltgun Metal.
Then I washed it with a 50/50 mix of Vallejo Smoke and Nulan Oil Wash, watered down a fair amount.
It gives it a very worn/oily brownish tint.
After that a quick drybrush of Boltgun and Chainmail and that's it.
Still some work to be done on this ¬_¬
I've done some light weathering but I want a bit more; chipped paint, rents and tears maybe.
I want to work on the front piece a bit more; better smoke damaged glass, maybe a bit of blood splatter on the cockpit.
Also I'm toying with rust, and adding some brass details with verdigris. Thoughts?
