Painting the Slammers Up-Armoured Blowers in 15mm

Spray primer and top coat After a red automotive primer, 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. They were then stippled with terracotta and orange in a random mix and hit with some PSC Rust weathering wash The vehicle hulls were then sprayed with an automotive silver spray and the figures were undercoated with Army Painter Desert Sand. 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). I also used some SF stowage from Darkest Star Games  which I sprayed green and then hit with Army Painter green ink. Stowage was added into the new resin turret bustles from Ainsty. 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 - for a change - brushed it on rather than dipped the vehicles in it. When dry I added the FDF decals from Ainsty. 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.
