Manda's (Amachan) 'Oiling Up' Project

I started off with a coat of AK Interactive Rust Streaks (AK 013) over the base and a coat of AK Interactive Streaking Grime (AK 012) over the model with my airbrush. I then used a wool dauber with a bit of white spirit to clean off the excess.

I then painted some Abteilung 502 Modelling Oil Color Dark Rust (ABT070) thinned with a bit of white spirit in the recess where I wanted some extra shadow. I applied a light coat of Abteilung 502 Fantasy Modelling Oil Color Ghost Grey (ABT525) on the top edges of the shoulder pads and on the gun, blending that in with the base paint. I then used some Abteilung 502 Modelling Oil Color Flesh Shadow (ABT215) to highlight particular areas on the model. Then with my airbrush I sprayed on a little bit more AK Interactive Streaking Grime (AK 012) from the bottom of the model. With a bit of white spirit removed the Streaking Grime from the edges and added a bit of Abteilung 502 Modelling Oil Color Green Grass (ABT094) in and around the eyes. Then I added some Abteilung 502 Modelling Oil Color Dark Rust (ABT070) in the edges of the base.

And then this paint decided to get really excited……

So I took some of the really excited AK Interactive True Metal Steel (AK457) with a bit of a cotton bud, removing the excess and then wiping that over the metallic areas.

I cleaned up the rim by painting over it with a bit of Scale 75 Scalecolor Black (SC-00) and then I continued to use the previous steps to deepen the colours and shading over the whole model and this is the result.

In between I did many times blow dry the model and went in with a brush with some white spirit to remove some from areas where I didn’t want it. Overall I enjoyed the process so far and I am just going to let it dry and see where it’s at.
