I have been doing a little more work on my Adeptus Mechanicus Colossus. I have painted and added a GW techpriest and an Old Crow resin crane. I have put on weathering and grease using burnt umbar water-based oil paint. This is wonderful stuff as you can plonk it on and then move it where it is needed and rub it off for at least an hour. It dries slowly, especially when thick. Incidentally, diluting it with water forms a coloid that never seems to dry! i have also added rust by putting mig powder on with 'clean' turps.
Adeptus Mechanicus logos were made with an inkjet printer and put on with white glue
The Colossus is now finished. I will do no more on it; well, maybe a servitor and an Imperial propoganda tannoy........

PS Sorry about the photos; a quick job with the model perched on my garden waste bin. Note the pastel light of a North European winter.
Such a lovely shade of worn metal.
ReplyDeleteThat's excellent, it immediately reminded me of those german super heavies.
ReplyDeleteYou do have some weird and wonderful toys mate.
Your kit-bashes are always inspiring :)
ReplyDeleteI am still playing with oil paints but they can give interestsing effect. They are very controlable. You just wipe off anything you don't like.

Hi John
ReplyDeleteI hope the Adeptus can't see whats become of their lovely creation or that tech priest would be doing pennance in his cell (The ritual of the wire brush and red oxide primer I think). Love the rust but due to health and safety restrictions I don't think Theyll be allowed to fire it as too many bits might fly off.
Praise the Omnisiah and pass the Rust Killer.
