Eve: Metal Thrashing Mad

Storm Damage

After finishing the metals I thought they looked a bit too clean, so I decied to give them a bit of weathering for that worn/distressed look.

Weathering Step 1

First off, I began by giving the silver areas several thin washes of (VMC) Smoke.

Weathering Step 2

Rust

In patches, I stippled on (GW) Dark Flesh.

Stain

I stippled on patches of (VGC) Dark Green.

Weathering Step 3

Rust

I stippled over the top of the previous layer using (VGC) Hot Orange, leaving some of the previous layer showing.

Stain

Same principle as above, but using (VGC) Jade Green.

Weathering Step 4

Rust

Very sparingly, I stippled on (VGC) Orange Fire.

Stain

I gave it a wash of (VMC) Verdigris.

All the Small Things.....

Just a few tiny details to finish off, not worth the photo's to be honest, so I will keep it to the description rather than loads of photos of obscure/insignificant details.

Belt Buckle

Painted as it was sculpted, as the good old Union Jack Flag.

Step 1

Basecoat of Carmine Red / (VGC) Ghost Grey / (VGC) Regal Blue.

Step 2

Highlight of (VMC) Vermillion / Skull White / (VGC) Magic Blue.
