After I finished the first 10 Tankbustas, I decided to paint up their ride.  A little bit of progress during mid-term examinations never hurt!

| Vroom! Vroom! | 
I went a little crazy with the rust, but I wanted to try out some different things.  This Trukk was one I picked up in a trade, but I didn't like the old paint job.  I like a colorful yet gritty approach (Maybe?), so I needed to basically start over without taking the time to strip the old paint.

| Soooo much rust! | 
I started by covering up all of the old metal with P3's Pig Iron.  Then I went crazy with the Ryza Rust from GW.  I did the engine block with Khador Red Highlight (P3) to get a Chevy Orange thing going on as a nod to my mechanic (Mek!) brother.  I added some greasy weathering to the block and the drive train (no pictures of the bottom) using Typhus Corrosion over a bit of Nuln Oil to rally dirty it up.  After I hit the rust I started adding the MacCragge Blue to the panels, I was going for new paint on a crappy car type of vibe.

I like using different blue colors since I think Orks would use whatever they had around and wouldn't really care about paint marching.  I like how it turns out.

The driver was not glued in place and he doesn't line up with the slots for his chair so that is a bit awkward.  The window screen also popped off but I have that lying around, hopefully that will hide the pretend steering thing I got going on.
All I need to do on this is to darken up the rust effects on the exhaust pipe, put some contrasting wash on the rivets, add a few red details (Mephiston Red!), and touch up any mistakes and this Trukk will be good to go.  I still have 4 more to do for my LVO list but this was a pretty quick job compared to how long the Tankbustas took.  Any comments and advice are welcome.  Tanks for checking it out!
Great use of the different colours :) I love it, the structure and your skill painting. Great work bro ^^
ReplyDeleteThanks, Benjamin. I always try to do new things. I still have so much to learn. I really appreciate the feedback.
