Karsus Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hello, dear fellows. I'm trying to make a base decorated with a lot of broken vehicle/mech equipments (broken tracks, engine, Dreadnought arm/leg, etc) and I would like to paint some kind of "oil/fuel" spilling from those parts (as severed arm on the ground would spill blood) to demonstrate death/wound of the machines. Problem is that I really do not know how to actually make effect like it (with what combination of paints). Can someone help me?

Emperors Immortals Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Can't help, but on a related note I need to know how to paint oil slick / mother of pearl effect. Anyone know how?

GrandMagnus Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I supposed you could use some similar techinques as with blood, a lot of black washes mixed with watered down browns of different tones? Im not sure I havent tried it myself but good luck.

Mahoo Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'd imagine a combination of washes, glazes and gloss. Surprisingly I've never seen anything like this before. A quick google search didn't turn anything up (other than oil spilled onto grass.... So black grass lol) I hope someone manages to help out here. Sounds like it could look pretty sick if done right Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277846-how-would-you-paint-oil-spilling-to-ground/#findComment-3409119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skawolf Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Paint a black spot on the base, make sure it dries completely then put a thick gloss coat on top. from the center out use washes in this order making a central dot surrounded by rings starting with purple then blue and last green kinda blending the colors where they meet. It will just look black when viewed from a normal distance, but if you were to pick up the model it would have a nice oil slick look to it as the light shined through the gloss finish. (do all of these washes while the gloss coat is still wet) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277846-how-would-you-paint-oil-spilling-to-ground/#findComment-3409137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'd say Skawolf has covered the painting side of it. Modelling-wise you could use a hot glue gun to very carefullu do a trickle (or stream) of glue coming from whatever is leaking it (a pipe, barrel, punctured tank, etc) and paint it once it's dried. If you want something finer, I saw the following done for a spray of blood: Get a short length of hair. Either cut some to length or use an eyelash or eyebrow hair. Holding it carefully hanging downward, apply some superglue along the length of the hair. The glue, as a liquid, will naturally form beads. As it's being held with thei hair pointing downward the beads should dry looking like a stream of blood/oil/depending on how you paint it.

Naminé Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I would use a lighter black wash mixed with tiny amounts of silver and gold to get that shimmery effect that oil gives off.

Verbal Underbelly Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Windsor and Newton inks are very pigment dense and dry glossy on plastic surfaces. I use their deep scarlet for blood.
