Shark Repellent Bat Spray

Step-by-step Abandoned burnt out car

Preparation - First of all I disassembled the car and discarded the plastic windscreen and headlights. The front seats have been ripped out and replaced with a frame made from a bent paper clip. The back seats have been smoothed off with green stuff. Everything was primed grey.

1. Using an airbrush I sprayed the car with a couple of coats of Vallejo’s Armour Brown

2. Spray the car with black in a random pattern.

3. Airbrush Vallejo’s Pale Blue Grey

4. Airbrush Citadel’s Trollslayer Orange

5. Airbrush Vallejo’s White Grey. Once that is dry give the car a coat of hairspray, I use a supermarket brand and works fine.

6. Base coat with your main car colour, I used Vallejo’s Buff for the main body and a contrasting Vallejo Armour Brown for one of the doors.

7. Moisten will with warm water using a large brush. Then you can start the chipping process using an old drybrush, stipple brush and a toothpick. Repeat this process until your are happy with the result.

8. Add some pigment washes. I used Lifecolor Liquid pigments: Carriage Grime to add shadows, Black Umber to reinforce lines and Rain Marks to add some streaks down the sides of the car.

9. This stage was using some weathering powders to add texture. I sprinkled some pigment fixer onto the car by dipping a toothbrush in the fixer and flicking it over the car. I then used a large stiff brush, dipped it in the powder and then tapped the brush handle to sprinkle the powder over the car to get a random covering.

10. It’s the same process for this stage but used a mix of a dark brown powder mixed with a black and then again using black on it’s own.

Step-by step for MDF buildings for Batman Miniatures Game

PICS 1-3 :

Arches were sprayed with Halfords grey primer, give them a couple of coats until you get a nice even layer.

PICS 4-9:

Using a 50:50 mix of Dawnstone and Administratum Grey (Any mid- grey and light grey mix will do. Airbrush on a random pattern.

Once dry use pure Administratum Grey and airbrush within the existing pattern so that it gives a nice transition

Once dry apply a final highlight of 30:70 Administratum Grey and White within the previous layer so that you are working in a smaller and smaller area

PICS 10-15

Weathering using W&N oils

I used Ivory Black, Burnt Umber and Sap Green. Ivory Black is applied to the curved arches, the uprights at either end and across the top of each section. Use an old drybrush for this. Dip in the paint wipe off some of the excess then apply the oil to the building, I then use a seperate brush dipped in White Spirit to thin out the black by washing over it and blend it into the grey below. It will probably take a couple of goes to thin it out. Don't worry about flooding the area as the White Spirit as it will soon evaporate.

I used Sap Green along the bottom of the walls and on the pavement using the same technique as above.

Burnt Umber was used in patches between the black and green just for a bit of variation.

Allow the oils to dry overnight.

When dry I sprayed them with dullcoat to seal everything before the next stage.

PICS 16-23

Apply tranfers and posters and tags. For the transfers I used micro sol/micro set, the transfers are from Multiverse Gaming, the posters are from the PDF file from this group. If you don't seal the oils, when you apply micro sol it will dilute the oils and ruin the blend (learnt from experience lol).

I dipped the posters into water to soften them slightly (personal preference) then brush on watered down PVA glue to the reverse of the poster, fixed into place on the building and then applied the same glue to the front of the poster. For some of them I'd screw them up when softened to get some creases then apply the glue. Once the glue is dry you can add some extra grime with a layer of nuln oil or weathering powders. For the tags I used an acrylic paint pen and found some random tags online to copy.
