The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

How fast iz we goin’ now?

In a continuation of my recent hairspray-powered painting endeavors, I wanted to try the method out on something larger and broader than a miniature. As I was previously a bit unhappy with how bland my tracked wartrukk looked, I set about experimenting on it's half-painted chassis. I hit the trukk with a coat of gloss varnish, then hairspray, and then thinned down Vallejo Blood Red into an airbrush and covered most of the vehicle.

With that done, I started to chip away at the paint a bit. I think I like it in it's current shape more than it's previous one, at least.

 

I think it worked a lot better on the back end than the front, though I couldn't honestly tell you why. In any case, now that it's somewhat weathered it'll be a good base to work from. I'm thinking if I grab some of the red oil paints I have, I can get some good variations in the hues and sharpen the details up a bit. I'll also work on cleaning up and painting the treads and other requisite details.
