A very quick paintjob so this guy can join my Rogue Stars crew.

He flies so I did this month's challenge.
I also did The Daily Double since he was impossible to assemble the way he's supposed to. I used the January and September challenges.
Difference from stock model for September:

Hi folks! First oath, and while it's a bit late to start, pretty confident I can get it done. Been in the hobby for a couple years, but with work and life in general, well, haven't found much motivation to really sit down and paint. And I've gotten so very tired of looking at the sea of primed and half finished models.

Looking forward to painting with you all.

Yes. I've never done Rescue before - you want us to claim it when we post the original oath, or after it's done like the other stuff?

While I'm bugging you and on a similar topic, for Monster May-hem, do you want a declaration thereof with my oath post or once I'm finished?

The rescue thing is part of the achievement, I need to know in advance so I can approve the oath. Unless otherwise stated claims and competitions are only needed in the completion post though. FYI the addition is approved also.

quote:

Rescue Ranger: Finish painting a figure you’d started but never gotten around to completing. This is an exception to the ‘undercoated only’ rule - when posting your Oath featuring a rescue model, state that you are rescuing it and show it in it’s current state. You can’t claim Need 4 Speed on a Rescue model.

Claiming the May challenge, Flying Start. The Seraph has wings and flies, zoom zoom.



Attempting Rescue Ranger for the Geckos.

This is where it gets weird.



Claiming the Daily Double for faction flags on the Geckos and the Santiago crests on the Seraph and Auxbot (Raise Your Flag) and the shiny sword on the Seraph (Time to Shine).

In case anyone was thinking about doing something similar, I used one of those Molotow silver pens on the sword, and while it applies great and looks like genuine chrome on plastic, it just doesn't work on metal. I haven't tried it on anything made of resin.

Also submitting these big robots for Monster May-hem. Infinity doesn't do huge guys, but this is about as big as they get. If they qualify, cool! If not, such is life. Here's my comparison pic.


Regardless, thanks for putting up with me being a dumbass, Zark.

A faithful replica


A recipe for success

I don't have an airbrush and these are the first things I've put a brush two in years, but if you like the results try this:

I was aiming for a group of tanks operational in the field for a little while, hence the missing rear sprocket guards and weathering.

1. Base coat the tanks in flat black. I use cheap paint from the local auto store.
2. Unload your brush until it's juussst off dry brush levels of Vallejo Model Air 71.294 US Forest Green. Try not to cry because you're using airbrush consistency paint. Keep going until it's just off a streaky mess, should be roughly 3 coats.
3. Wash panel seems and the like with Army Painter Dark Tone.
4. Dry brush forest green again. Repeat until your coverage is good.
5. Equipment (ammo hoppers and jerry cans) are painted with VMC 70.887 Brown Violet. Brake lights on the rear are two light coats of VMC 70.957 Flat Red. Guns are flat black. Hit them with dark tone and then their base colors again if needed.
6. Dry brush everything that isn't black with a 50% mix of US Forest Green and VMC 70.819 Iraqi Sand.
7. Apply tamiya weathering master light gun metal to the 50.cal and other, lesser not 50.cal gun. Apply tamiya weathering master mud to everything that could touch mud. Hit the main gun barrel with soot.
8. Tank commanders are VMC 70.894 Cam olive green, 70.955 flat flesh or 50% flat flesh and 70.871 leather brown. 50% of the troops is a patches of leather brown or 70.983 flat earth, then 25% of the remaining green is covered by VMC 70.988 Khaki, then black stripes of 70.862 Black Grey. Hit with hit uniform with dark tone wash, flesh with strong tone, hit the flesh with flat flesh or 50% flat flesh and leather brown.
9. Tracks are basecoated with citadel Rhinox Hide, dry brushed with VMC 70.990 light grey, then washed with dark tone, weathered with weathering master mud.
10. Enjoy your awesome 1985 era tanks.
