So I’ve decided to heavily weather it, never really tried too much weathering before so looking forward to experimenting.

After a black undercoat (by the way this was a chore, no t sure if there was something in the plastic but it struggled to take in places, should have washed it!) I did a rudimentary later of Vallejo ‘rust’ my air brush was playing up so it did a load of splatter and wasn’t very smooth, but I don’t care, it may even be a ‘happy accident’ as wholesome afro sporting Bob Ross used to say!

After the initial brown I built up smaller areas with air brush mixing various red browns and oranges (red terracotta, armour brown, firey orange, a bit of yellow) then finally stippled some Ryza Rust on the most orange places.

This will serve as a base for the next stage and act as rust areas revealed through chipping medium after I add the main colours.

I actually think it looks pretty cool like this! Riddled with space STDs after several ‘adventures’…..
