rockpopandchips Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) While I wait for some surplys I started another smaller junk project, using some tank parts, a spray can lid, flashing kids toy parts and arms from a Haro ball, this should end up looking a bit like a retro robot with its clear dome head and flashing led brain... We will see once it's all put together. Edited June 7, 2019 by rockpopandchips 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with how the tree looks just want to some roots running across the surface and I will blacken the ground a bit more before adding some grey and purple washes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might struggle to shift lacquers over hairspray unless it's a really light misted coat. Even then it may not chip very well. I tend to stick with acrylics for HS chipping, and thin them with water, rather than a proprietary thinner, to make the chipping process as easy as possible. You might get away with lacquers for salt chipping, but the paint might just glue the salt in place and make it very hard to remove without doing damage to the model. Love the build so far Andy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to attempt to mix some nice pastel colours using my Vallejo game colours then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 Snuck a few mins at the bench at lunchtime and added some more paints... The base colour is much darker in the flesh, my camera make it look much browner than it actually is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
