Painting the New Slammers Blowers in 15mm by  Brigade Models

Spray primer and top coat Army Painter Monster Brown primer was sprayed over everything. The top plenum skirts were then panel sprayed with a darker Tamiya brown for variation and then masked out. The vehicle hulls were then sprayed with an automotive silver spray, Figures were undercoated with Army Painter Desert Sand. Panel detail The plenum skirts are meant to be rusty steel so I added some alternate coloured panels and some rusting by hand using a combination of darker brown and terracotta coloured paints. Stowage After basic painting came the stowage. I bought pre-painted items from Hobby Master in 1/72nd (as usual) and added bed rolls and tarps from two part ‘greenstuff’ putty (which has the advantage of already being the colour I wanted). This was glued on and then the shading started. Dipping The stowage was washed in Army Painter inks (especially the raw greenstuff bits I’d made myself). I used a Future/Klear (floor polish) plus 10% black/brown ink mix and dipped first the front and then the back half of the vehicles in. When dry I added decals from Bad Idea games. Matt varnish After all that work had dried I reached for the Testors Dullcote. After that metal highlights were added using Shining Silver and lenses for vision blocks and lights using Tamiya clear lacquers.
