Rust and green

I figured I wasn't going to do too much more to the Boomwagon, so I went ahead and primed it using Krylon Rust Primer, which is a nice dark brown/orange color. After that was done, I whipped out two colors and just started spraying plates on the thing at random: The darker color is P3's Thornwood Green, which I find makes a really nice dark metal contrast to the rust... despite being a green color, it looks more like dark metal than green when applied over the orange rust. I also used some GW Vermin Brown in the airbrush to increase the contrast a bit.

I'm looking at it now and wondering what color I'm going to paint it. The idea was to put this kind of varied rust color on underneath, and maybe try my hairspray masking or experiment with salt masking techniques. I'm thinking a dark black Goff color with checkers and maybe some red might look nice; that, or blues and yellows, since it is a looted wagon.

Any ideas, guys? What colors do you see when you look at this?

  1. I’m thinking a roughly 3:1 ratio of weathered and rusted bare plate to looted, painted armor plate from imperial vehicles. Your stompa and wrekka kanz pulled this style off well, it might be cool to expand upon that scheme with the hairspray masking on this tank.
