Re-Masking the Battlewagon

Having constructed the Battlewagon the next stage was to undercoat the model. I decided that I would use two undercoats, a black undercoat for some of the model and a brown undercoat (or basecoat) for the main bodywork. In order to achieve this I masked off the areas of the model that would be brown. I then sprayed the model black. I then removed the masking tape and masked the black areas.

I also masked the areas that I would need to use glue on later.

First undercoat for the Battlewagon

Having masked the Battlewagon I gave the underneath of the Battlewagon a black undercoat.

As you can see the black undercoated parts have been sprayed. Still need to do the bodywork.

I did consider detailing the interior, but decided it was a lot of extra work and it wouldn’t be seen by anyone.

Here are the wheels and tracks, these were also undercoated black.

Here is how the model looks at this stage, I have added a cap to one turret and added the lobba to the other.

Washing the Moonscape

Having drybrushed with Tauspet Ochre, I noticed that there were some areas which I had missed with the base coat. So I decided to give the craters a wash of Devlan Mud wash. However as you can see from this close up it didn’t work.

So I have decided to do some touching up to fix this. However apart from this I was quite pleased with the wash effect in toning down the drybrushing, though I am going to drybrush a little more.
