Here are some more photographs of my Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank from Ironclad Miniatures, with helping support from two Old West figures.

Having finished painting and basing Emmet Gates, here are some photographs of him in my desert scenery.

So now must finish the rest of the Old West figures from Foundry I have.
Having finished painting my Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank (from Ironclad Miniatures) that I will be using in an Old West setting, I took some photographs of it in my desert terrain.
See the workbench feature on how I painted the Steam Tank.
I painted the wooden hull, with Flat Earth (983). I am trying to get a polished teak effect.
I will now paint the metal bands around the hull, before giving the “teak” a wash.
Having finished painting Emmet Gates, I started on the base.
I first gave it a basecoat of Citadel Texture: Armageddon Dust.
What I did note was that it didn’t quite cover the coin as well as I thought it would. So for my other Foundry models I will use a bit of green stuff to texture the base.
Once the paint was dry, I drybrushed with Citadel Layer: Ushabti Bone and then used some Citadel Mordheim Turf.
The drill and rear hatch were a little too new and shiny, so I gave both areas a wash of Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil.
This dulls down the brightness of the Bolt Gun Metal.
After “washing” the Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank from Ironclad Miniatures I gave it a relatively light drybrush.
I used a combination of Vallejo Middlestone and a mix of Middlestone (882) and Ivory (918), and a large brush.
Now a side view.
Here is the Steam Tank alongside a Foundry Gunfighter.

I finished painting the Emmet Gates model.
I gave the model a wash using Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade. This was to darken the base colours, add shadow and shade.
At this stage I could drybrush or highlight, but I quite like the finish at this time, so I think I will leave himas is. The next stage will be the base.
The main part of the Ironclad Miniatures Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank model was then given a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade.
There are some quite large flat blank areas on the model, as a result the wash hasn’t worked as well as I would have liked. However these areas will be slightly covered with the tracks and the turret.
