Having fun playing around with the basic colour scheme on each one. Adding little differences to each figure makes it a bit more interesting with painting all that red!
Applied a base coat of VMA Steel to this one and then found it made it easier to visualize the battle damage. Finally happy with applying the damage to these figures. Figure nine finally happy!!! The switch from 1/72nd and 1/56th scale AFV's was a little tricky in transferring techniques from one medium to the other. But always learning! I've found that GW Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade are used for the initial weathering then VMC Smoke. Finally a little bit of oil paints to round it all off. When I first started a was using Oil and Enamel based products more with pigments. Which worked fine on the AFV's but not so much for me on these figures.
The above is a 1/72nd scale T34/76 one of the last vehicles I painted about 18 months ago. Weathering drab green with oils, enamels and pigments is so much easier that phonebox red! It's a Zvezda model.
So also made a start on the Escher ganger.
Base for her is completed.
Then painted some ladders for Module three...
Was going to glue these in originally but decided they will be kept loose to make the game potentially more interesting. Who knows, character's knocking them down, stealing them?
A rough idea of what they look like in situ. These are from Hexy Store. Must admit a bit disappointed with them. Bought other items from them which are really nice casts. But some of these ladders needed quite a bit of cleaning up. I've only weathered one side, the good side. I bought these to save time but really all they are, are H plastic rod and T plastic rod..cast in resin. So could I made them myself as originally planned in the time it took to clean them up? Probably not! But the two I have left are the worst of the bunch so may just cut them up to use as debris.
