I love when stuff is ready to paint right out of the box/bag. Cleanup and prep has to be the most onerous task in the hobby for me. So I was very excited when this Bunker from Warchimera required zero clean up... which means it gets to move to the top of the paint queue!
I'm trying out a new workflow to mix up my paint subjects and add in a single simple project that can be completed in a short sitting before proceeding to the more complex job of the day... kind of a warm up piece. This Bunker is one of those.
I like the paint and glue friendly resin on this and painted it largely with various primer sprays (all Rustoleum this time since they were on sale for $3.00 a can... flat black, for the floor, Camo Beige and Camo Green for the walls and roof) before adding some weathering effects via Forgeworld powders and GW technical paint.
I added some signs from Verlinden spread the Forgeworld Powders dry and then set them with Rustoleum (That sale again!) Matte Sealer.

Oh man I love that dumpster! Bunker looks great too, though I'd like to see some weathering/distress on that sign! Give it some bullet holes or something fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg! I actually did some distressing on the sign with the dry powder in the same way the sign on the dumpster was done... but... it wicked away when I sealed it hahah... I'll have to revisit it with some more serious tools!... maybe POWER TOOLS! Muahahah!
DeleteHaha, ya I use their fixing fluid on the dry stuff now...or just wash it before sealing!
DeleteThat sign is really just paper... its very shiny paper... but still paper.. so I was afraid that the fixing solution would eat the ink. Now that its been sealed that is probably not an issue anymore. I think some holes will also spice it up a bit!
DeleteHmm...true...but maybe it would have made the sign fall apart in an AWESOME WAY!
DeleteYa know... that's probably true! MOAR AWESOME!
