As a final touch I sprayed black at the bottom of the fins and the hull from the airbrush to give the appearance of burns from dropping through the atmosphere.Īll in all, I like it. Then dotted and dragged Gryphonne Sepia from the bolts and vents to create an appearance that when the pod isn't in use, it sits for long periods, allowing the rust to run from the bolts and such. With all of this done, I sat down with a paint brush and cleaned up the rust using boltgun or back (where appropriate) to tone down some of the areas that really got hosed with rust. With that finished I weathered the black to look like it got scraped entering orbit. Then I went through the whole model liberally applying rust with the airbrush using the brown. With that finished I went back with black and added spots anywhere I wanted rust of the hazard stripes, then loaded the airbrush with Calthan Brown(?), the brown foundation and sprayed it into the black spots I made on the hazard stripes. When it came time to paint, all I did was give it one coat Krylon Grey Primer, then base coated it in Boltgun Metal with the airbrush, Hit the panels that face the sky with a little mythril silver (also with the airbrush), then I masked of the hull (where the regular drop pod doors are) and sprayed them black, then masked off the hazard areas, first spraying them Iyanden Darksun (yes foundations work in the airbrush, just use plenty of matte medium and windex), then masking the yellow and airbrushing the black stripes in Black Ink.
