Manda's (Amachan) 'Oiling Up' Project

First, to finish up the word bearer, I added a wash with a mix of Abteilung 502 Modelling Oil Color Bitume (ABT004) and some white spirit in the recesses. Once dry I’ll see where he is at, but I think that is him done.

To start of with the Imperial Fist, I first added some chipping to most of his armour using a sponge and some Vallejo Model Air Steel (71.065).

I then applied a coat of AK Interactive Rust Streaks (AK 013) to the base and a coat of MIG Neutral Wash (P222) to the model and wiped off the excess in the same way as I did before. After drying that with a hairdryer I applied the same Abteilung 502 Modelling Oil Color Bitume (ABT004) oil wash as before to him, wiping some bits of and then drying him again. And then I went into the vision slot with a bit of Abteilung 502 Modelling Oil Color Red Primer (ABT120) and blended that in with the visor a bit to create a slight glow effect.

Then I focused on the base. I added a bit of Abteilung 502 Modelling Oil Color Dark Rust (ABT070) in the recesses and blended that into the floor with some white spirit. I then did the same with some Abteilung 502 Modelling Oil Color Copper Oxide Blue (Patina) (ABT180) around the copper pipes.

For a bit of extra detailing on the leather, I stippled on some Abteilung 502 Modelling Oil Color Dust (ABT003) with a brush and then with a separate completely dry brush worked it into the leather.

I then stippled on some AK Interactive True Metal Steel (AK457) on the metal bits and with same technique as before, I worked that into the top of the metal bits. I stippled a bit AK Interactive True Metal Steel (AK457) on the leather studs as well and then finished the rim of the base off with a bit of Scale 75 Scalecolor Black (SC-00).

And that is where I am leaving him for now.
