The Antargran Regular Army:  The UAAF in 15mm

Dry Brush A colour lighter than Skeleton Bone was mixed and the vehicles dry brushed in that to bring out the copious details. 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 then wore latex gloves and, as they had so much detail, 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. I used this instead of my usual Army Painter dip method. Then I hit them with some water slide decals which go well over the quite shiny finish of the Future. Shading and weathering This as done after the tracks were painted (in various shades starting with a gun metal/brown mix and ending up with a silver highlight) with dark rust and standard rust MiG ckalks and more Army Painter inks. Matt varnish After all that work had dried I reached for the Testors Dullcote. This fixes everything including the chalks.
