The model has been stripped using fairy power spray. The result was pretty good.
Next up the hull was primed using Vallejo Air Grey Primer. This was sprayed at about 30psi in wide sweeping passes with the airbrush constantly moving so no paint could build up.
Next up the model was preshaded using Vallejo Game Colour Dark Fleshtone. This was thinned down quite a lot as my batch seems to be rather thick and gloopy and sprayed at a fairly low psi (about 15) so I could get in nice and close. I am thinning using the Vallejo Acrylic Thinner.
After this I gave the model several passes with VGC Bloody Red again at about 30psi.
Then I panel filled the large areas with a 50/50 VGC Bloody Red/Hot Orange mix thinned down at about 15 psi.
After that I made a few passes over the bottom half with a 50/50 VGC Dark Fleshtone/Bloody Red mix and then used that same mix to emphasis some of the shading around the chimney stacks and armour plates.
That's all for the moment. The wife is away on a hen do this weekend so expect a torrent of updates. Hoping to have this one finished, and my Vinidicator and a couple of Land Raiders for a friend in advanced stages by Sunday afternoon when my peace and quiet is shattered by her arrival back home :)
I am about to start my first foray into airbrushing vehicles (Blood Angels as well), so this is great inspiration. I look forward to updates!
ReplyDeleteGood luck :)
ReplyDeleteI have only being doing this for 2 vehicles now so not the best placed to give advise but I will say practise first with your airbrush to make sure you are happy using it and have your paint consistency sorted before putting paint to model.
