A small piece of terrain for Star Wars: Legion.

So I will try the “salt” method for the first time on this little project. Later on there will be more things I will do for the first time.

The build on this model is very straight forward. Cockpit has three parts, one lower hull section, upper hull with the 2 guns and one tow cable gun and the rear section.

To make painting and weathering easier I assembled the upper hull with the rear section, left the lower hull for it self and build the cockpit.

And then everything got a good coating of Army Painter Chaotic Red. After everything dried the upper section got a thick coat of hairspray and salt.

After all the red dried the upper body got a coat of Army Painter Uniform Grey and the lower section was painted with Army Painter Wolf Grey.

Letting that dry again and then blocking some colours and adding a lot of Citadel Nuln Oil.

And because it’s starting to get closed to finish I need to start the base.

This is a new technique to me: air drying clay on a CD structured with GreenStuffWorld cobblestone roller. I am excited on how this will turn out.

Now everything is dried I assembled the T-47, did a dark grey on the base, red on the barrel and a light grey on the big “concrete slabs”

After that, the cockpit of the T-47 got a wash too and the salt was removed. A red wash applied to the barrel and a light grey dry brush to the base.

Since I’m working in batches now things have time to dry and after I dry brushed the base it was able to apply red wash to the rust spots and a brown wash to the base.

And this is the result:

And here we have it. After giving everything a good wash the barrel was fixed on the base and a UV-Resin mixed with ink is used as sludge on the barrel. I don’t know if the resin itself takes so long to cure but I think the ink is making it taking longer. This is another first for me 😉

Then the two concrete slabs are glued into position and the T-47 on top.

And then yet another first for me: pigments. I crushed some artists paints and there I am… and I think it looks awesome.

Tomorrow: seal it all up.

And the pigment with all it’s heavy dusty rusty effect vanished.

WTF?!

Well it look good the way it is now. Maybe someday I will use some more pigment and (as some *other* dude on YouTube suggested) use hairspray to fixate the pigment.

Without further ado: The T-47 Airspeeder.
