Weathering vehicles/armour


Recommended Posts

Hey all.

 

i recently received a contemptor dread as a gift and thought i would make a weathering tutorial as i painted him.

 

its a bit pic heavy but i hope it helps.

 

you will need:

 

your paints/brushes (i have written what i used at each step, but obviously you can use whichever colours you like)

an old drybrush

an old paintbrush

a can of hairspray

some table salt

some sponge

an airbrush or a can of army painter (or equivalent)

 

STEP 1: PRIME YOUR MODEL.

i have used chaos black spray.

STEP 2: PAINT ALL AREAS YOU WANT WEATHERED WITH A COAT OF MOURNFANG BROWN

STEP 3: USING A SPONGE LIGHTLY STIPPLE RANDOM AREAS WITH SQUIG ORANGE

STEP 4: GIVE ALL PAINTED SECTIONS A LIGHT COAT OF NULN OIL WASH. LEAVE TO FULLY DRY.

STEP 5: SPRAY HAIRSPRAY INTO A POT UNTIL A GOOD AMOUNT OF LIQUID ACCUMULATES.

STEP 6: ONE SECTION AT A TIME PAINT HAIRSPRAY ONTO MODEL AND SPRINKLE SALT IN RANDOM PATCHES. ONCE MODEL IS FULLY DONE LEAVE TO DRY

THATS AS FAR AS I AM AT THE MOMENT. I WILL UPDATE LATER THIS EVENING AS I CONTINUE WITH THE MODEL.

STEP 7: USING AN AIRBRUSH OR ARMY PAINTER SPRAY BASECOAT YOUR MODEL IN YOUR DESIRED COLOUR. i have used army painter dessert yellow.

STEP 8: USING AN OLD DRYBRUSH DIPPED IN WARM WATER START TO BRUSH AWAY THE SALT. THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE. (at this stage i also blocked in the other colours on the model)

STEP 9: WASH THE RIVETS AND CREASES.( i used reikland fleshshade). WHEN DRY HIGHLIGHT AS NORMAL MAKING SURE TO HIGHLIGHT THE BOTTOM OF THE CHIPPED PAINT

STEP 10: PAINT THE REST OF YOUR DETAILS AND VOILA! ONE BEATEN UP SCRATCHED MODEL.

HOPE THIS WAS USEFUL TO SOMEONE!

  • 4 weeks later...

if you really wanted to, could you use fortress grey instead of mourfang brown (for templars) ?

Thats what I was thinking as well. Use a grey undercoat, or a charcoal might work.

 

This is really a awesome tutorial. Ill have to try this!

 

May I ask, what type of hairspray did you use? Or does any kind work?

  • 2 weeks later...

Very nice! Definitely I wll try it in my tanks

 

Just a little question

 

In step 8 you said "(at this stage i also blocked in the other colours on the model)"

Do you mean sealing with varnish the mini? Do you apply the varnish before or after removing the salt?

 

Thank you!
 

I wanted to try this technique for years !

Now that I have a land raider to paint, I think I will give it a go.

Problem is, I paint Blood Angels, and I can't decide which color I shoud be using for basecoat.

 

I thought about a dark brown, but I'm afraid it doesn't contrast enough with the red.

Any suggestions ?

I have tryed it!

Here is the result:

EPIC FAIL!!!

 

Lessons learned:

 

Size matters!! I should have used fine salt instead.

 

As you suggested, only a few orange with the sponge, I overspongebrushed the model. Also a darker tone of orange (as you used).

 

I'll try again in the same poor model.
