Entry 26: Muzzle Burn aka Blueing Tutorial

July 24, 2019

To start with I followed this tutorial with one deviation:

I felt the barrel on the example was too dark. I decided to basecoat it with Leadbelcher and wash it with Nuln oil but not use as much Nuln Oil as the example. Furthermore I decided that layering Stormhost silver the area was better than soaring edge highlights.

I did make a goof with this tutorial too as I kind of god over excited and forgot to take pictures of the stage where the purple wash was applied and simply powered through to the next, so apologies for that. Whoops!

The initial surface area ready for work

Drakhenhof Nighshade: be careful, this is incredibly dark so don't overuse it

Below are two more completed examples. The twin meltaguns do not look as good. It was my first attempt and I used too much wash for too small an area, so it looks very dark with little transition and poor effect.

With the heavy flamethrower however it is much better. In future I will be using this on just medium and larger surface areas. The effort and how good it looks on smaller barrels is something that will prove self defeating without the desired effect until my skill improved.
