A Side Project

Just a quickie.  One of the donated pieces of terrain to the club stockpiles have annoyed me once too often by appearing as the centerpiece of battles in a wholly unpainted, tattily based state.

The only way these things get sorted is by muggins 'ere* taking the offending object home and sorting it out.

 
I tried a few different techniques on this, most notably a rust wash:  One part Steel paint, one part Cavalry Brown to 8 parts Vallejo Smoke, and water as required.  On a club model it is fine to try these things out!

Actually the effect seems pretty good.  I know a hardcore modeler would be doing this with enamel washes or oils and thinners - I've been watching a lot of Plasmo Models videos of late - but for tabletop purposes this looks fine to me.

Just a couple of hours work, despite the size.  These new GW models are pretty good to be fair.  If what you need is an enormous near impossible to hide and easily targeted fortification.
