Rust is alright

 

Krylon has redeemed itself in my eyes. Though I was originally very upset with their black primer, as I felt it ruined a lot of the details on my gargant, they apparently make a rust colored primer that I discovered today. After a few preliminary trials, I am in love with this - it's the perfect primer for ork vehicles.

The color, of course, needs a fair bit of tempering. I think a decent inking will bring all the details back out and make them pop again, but I believe what comes next is the toning process where I carefully airbrush a more desaturated brown onto the parts. The nice thing about this rust-orange primer color is that it's really easy to go in the directions I want - that is to say, red on some plates, brown rust on the others. The parts I paint blue I think will have to be coated in a black and worked up from a dark blue again, as I don't picture blue will go on well over orange.

I am certainly going to use this primer for my other ork vehicles in future, though.
