Hey guys, I've got my boarding actions set and after I assembled it I'm a bit baffled.
Any suggestion how to paint it quick without airbrush?

Big brush. I know that sounds like a joke, but I’m completely serious. If you’re doing a fairly straight forward rusty metal finish something like a 2” (50mm) paint brush should work great. Work a primer in all over then heavy dry brush brown and lighter dry brush orange for the highlights. And then use more normal methods for specific details you want to pick out.

For larger pieces that are rusty or aged, my groups goes for the brown spray paint primer followed by a brick red misting. Then wash (if needed) and drybrush with a big brush
