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.

Freehand? Say What? |
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.

Oi Knowz deez sticks aint stuck to nuffin! |
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.
DeleteLooking great buddy! Nice use of checkers!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Greg. Practice, practice, practice. I want to start using more stuff like that in my army.
