I continued with the metallic areas, highlighting the checkers with Stonewall Gray. For the metal detailing around the torso, I darkened some areas with a 2/1 Cold Gray and Black mix, and highlighted with Ghost Gray. In some spots I blended in Wolf Gray, to make it seem the metal was reflecting the blue color of the torso. I used white to dot the corners and tips. The same colors were used on the arm weapons, but I wet-blended them. The windows were done with a quick dark-to-light fade, but I tried to create a shattered window effect on the left side with White paint and a technical pen.
I added a blue panel to the center torso, to break up all the light blue.
Back to the rust. I stippled and streaked Black Red over the mini, mainly over the orange areas, and used a very watered down Black Red to blend it all the way through the orange, green, to the blue areas. A heavy dose of Black Red was used under any metallic areas.
Next up, I needed to weather the arm weapons. Smoke was applied to the right autocannon barrel, followed by watered-down Black. The left-arm laser didn't need this treatment. Both arms were then given the same rust treatment – Goblin Green, Fiery Orange, Black Red. The laser port was roughly jeweled blue. The miniature was, for the most part, complete.
I blacked out the base and junk, and then painted the base Beasty Brown.
The base was drybrushed with Bubonic Brown followed by Bone, with a final highlight of White. I painted the junk in various colors, giving most of it the rust treatment. The base rim was painted Graveyard Earth.
I glued a few patches of static grass, and sealed the miniature.
