Got a lot done today.
I applied all the rivets and decided that I am going to add some color to my Necromunda table. Nothing bright just muted colors. I think it will show off the rust and weathering a lot better than just steel.
I was just going to dry fit it 😳
I was just going to dry fit the catwalks on to check the fit . Then glue got involved and now this is going to be a royal pain in the butt to paint.
Painted the heat sinks to look like concrete
Painted up the concrete heat sinks for necromunda. I started out using a dark grey latex paint then added an eggshell color also latex paint. I will add a raw sienna to give a slight warm tan to the mix. I will also add water to make the paint slightly transparent. I will add just a little more eggshell and water the more coats I apply. I applied the paint using a natural sponge randomly twisting my wrist to not make a noticeable pattern.
I applied about 7 coats .
I worked on the catwalks.
I rudely cut out the catwalks out of black foamcore and laid down some aluminum mesh using CA glue ( super Glue) then I applied black card stalk on top.
I still have more details to add but it’s a good start. I have three made to this point so far.
The Heat sink is taking shape
Sorry I have been out of commission for the past few days with this Flu A . I won’t lie it was worse than Covid so be careful out there with that said I did get a little hobby work done .
I sanded and glue washed the the towers. Yes after sanding the peaks down you want to apply a second glue wash. After allowing it to dry I then put down the base coat of a dark grey. I use a flat indoor latex paint.
Pt2 Heat sink towers WIP
Today I applied a the glue wash over the dried joint compound. The glue wash is mostly PVA glue a little water and some inks and a couple of drops of liquid dish soap. The glue will protect the joint compound and add to strengthen the cardboard tube. The ink will allow me to see what has been covered and what has not and the dish soap helps breakdown the viscosity of the glue wash. Now I wait until tomorrow evening before I start to sand thee peaks I made with the joint compound.

Heat sink towers for Necromunda
Started working on my heat sink towers for Necromunda .
Really easy and quick. Glue together some tubes together using 2 in foam that I carved out to add support to the joint and allowed to dry. Then applied the first coat of watered down premade joint compound and allowed to dry. The second layer I allowed to dry half way and made random texture using the 2in brush I applied the joint compound with and allow to completely dry. This is how I make concrete. Stay tuned for the next part coming soon.
