Last night, I painted another hab unit for the the Stagnation City.
The piece is MDF that I picked up from @ninefinger ? a a few years back. MDF sucks in paint, so be sure to have a solid primer coat and don't waste tour money on Army Painter or GW spray. Rust-oluem is perfect. I prefer semi-gloss. This will be tacky and needs to cure unless is 90 plus degrees out.
I did not chip away at the building, so I added multiple wash layers over time. The green is too green unless I wanted a verdigris layer on copper. GW Orange ink mixes well with rust, browns, and greens. You can see it in the above photo on the center of the diagonal and around the rust area. Remember to dilute your inks with extender or water. Let it run.
The red in the door is layered to red-orange as a light light and then washed with the Mindtaker Red ink and then a muddy black, and a hit or the orange.
The vent on the lower left should probably have blue where the silver is, but oh well.
I am really happy with the wash effect on the lower part of the model. Remember the bottom of the building should be darker due to grime and dirty settling downward.
The sign is bit @scottshoemaker included as a sampler, so I could decide what products he prints would suit my needs best.
Comments are appreciated. Would you use this piece?
And as always, if you have bits you want to donate that wold be good for buildings, please send them my way.
