that now looks a bot like camo to me as is...?

Well I figgured out why the "touch up of the green was going poorly... I was using the wrong green... I've re painted the stripe and now need to re do the gray along the stripe and touch up the numbers a little. then Onnwards to adding the sandbags... then weapons... then to weather everything...

I'll post some pics tomorrow.

On to the Pics.

After Re greening (I went with Option 2) before touch up


The next pictures show where the (wrong green) seeped under the masking tape as it was both too thin and I was over applying the paint. (Bleh)






After touch ups (gray is still wet)

oh... the bleed through i actually would have let it stayed on... looked like lichen...

but now it looks much better!!

I've been using one of those tightly rolled paper blending tools (usually used for charcoal or pencil drawing) to burnish the edges of my masking tape to great effect. Also it helps you to learn to move your airbrush always above the masking tape, never spraying at an angle where the paint could shoot under the tape. You want to move the airbrush( not your wrist like we do with a regular brush)

Work is currently on hold as My brain (and hands) are full with Prep and logistics for PAX East 2012.

Yay an Update (with Pictures even...)

Right entrance (with sandbags added and painted...)


Right wall (un weathered)


Left wall (weathered)


Left entrance (with sandbags added and painted.)


"roof" With rust weathering added to the tiles. (walls still need weathering applied)


Interior (weathered.)




Closeup of signs...

NICE WORK! sandbags look great nice add, it kind of reminds me of the level in COD world at war

yes! that is shaping up to be an epic piece of terrain...

what is your story on making sandbag barriers? if possible a lil step by step would come in handy^^

and the roof and floor is looking very cool...

Looks totally badass Galorn! All your effects came together very well!

Can I make one, small suggestion though? I imagine the edges of the painted stripe peeling in spots, especially along the edges.

You just basically want to keep the brightest highlight on the bottom of the scrape.

that is quite good looking dave! cool idea!

Well, If I were taking something like this to Adepticon, advertising my terrain services or products, I think I would want to pull out all the stops

Absolutely fantastic Galorn.....

You gonna clean up the paintwork on those FANTASTIC floor panels?

that small all rusted hatch in the floor is one of the nicest incarnation of rustyness i hitherto have seen^^

Nope (they look better in person, and no time...)

Thanks.

wow, that is one awesome bunker. how did you achieve the weathering effect with the rust?

any way looking good hope all goes well at the con.

The Rust effect is simply two different paints layered on.

A heavily thinned Liquitex "Burnt Umber" (very similar to the GW "scorched Brown") liberally applied. Once dry a follow up coat of some thinned Liquitex "Raw Sienna" Sponged/stippled into the boundaries of the area of the "Burnt Umber".

The con was alot of fun and very informative for me.

Indeed.

well it poked me into starting a piece of terrain so if you guys feel the urge i know galorn took a peek at it.

galorn, so scrched borwn and stipple in so lighter brown? do you think i could sponge it in also or would that over do it? my thought on that is some parts look way more rusted and what not.

Always use orange as the highlight color for red or brown rust..It really adds the depth you are looking for!
