Traktor Mul: Uragan and Katyusha

WALL-E gets an upgrade.

The club challenge was to paint models for the month of October.

I had been putting off painting these models for ages.  My excuse was that I was waiting for an airbrush to be able to highlight the domes of the remotes....

... Well the airbrush finally arrived and I could no longer make excuses.

I present the Traktor Muls!

Katyusha

Uragan

This was going to be my version of speed paint....

48hrs previous.

I hit them with Vallejo Black Surface Primer.

Then I followed up with Vallejo Air Cam Green.  Then I panel highlighted with Vallejo Reflective Green and Vallejo Uniform Green (thinned out of course).

With that done it was onto brush work- edge highlighting with Citadel Death World Forest and finally with Citadel Nurgling Green.

Detailing

Weathering- I applied some watered down Vallejo Flat Earth along the cracks to simulate rain water dirt.

Then using Vallejo Charred Earth and a left over grey foam I gently dabbed on some dirt.

Non metallic metal

With the NMM, I went with a base of Citadel The Fang.

I mixed in a bit of Vallejo Black and then created the base colour.  I then successively highlighted up with Citadel The Fang, then Vallejo Cold Grey and then finally Vallejo Ghost Grey.

I tried to highlight only on the areas of the wheel that would catch the light.

Overall it has worked out quite well.

Until next time.
