Undercoating the Deff Rolla

I did buy the Ork Battlewagon Upgrade Pack and decided to add the Deff Rolla to my Ork Battlewagon.

The Deff Rolla was undercoated black.

Maybe…

Having thought about how the Battlewagon turrets would look on my Ork Looted Rhino I thought it would only be fair to see how they looked on the Ork Battlewagon itself.

Not bad!

Messing with the Looted Rhino

I have been trying out some of the turrets from my Battlewagon on my Ork Looted Rhino to see how they work out.

So here are some photographs seeing how the different turrets look on the looted rhino.

This is the small turret.

This is the cupola with Big Shoota.

Think they work quite well in making the Rhino Orky.

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.

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.

Undercoating the turret

Having masked the turret I gave it a spray with black undercoat.

Removing the masking tape shows that only those parts I wanted black are black.

Next stage will be to mask the black areas and spray a white undercoat.

Masking the turret

I have been thinking about using the turrets from the Ork Battlewagon on my Ork Looted Rhino.

I decided that I would use two undercoats, a black undercoat for some of the model and a white undercoat for the main bodywork. In order to achieve this I masked off the areas of the model that would be brown.

I decided that as I was using this on the Looted Rhino that I could get away with using an Imperial turret hatch and so I could use one of the Ork turret hatches (or mini turret) on another Ork vehicle.

Though the photograph shows the roof of the turret on the model, that is just to show how it will look and wasn’t stuck on at this time.

Masking the Deff Rolla

I did buy the Ork Battlewagon Upgrade Pack and decided to add the Deff Rolla to my Ork Battlewagon.

Before undercoating the Deff Rolla I masked where the Rolla would be glued. I used normal masking tape for this.

Drybrushing the Moonscape

The craters were drybrushed with Tauspet Ochre.

You can see where I have missed bits, I hope to catch these with a wash.

Reducing the sheen

I gave the craters a base coat. Rather than use GW paints I used Daler Rowney’s Burnt Umber acrylic paint. The paint does give a slight sheen, but the process I am using should tone that down. To reduce the sheen of the acrylic paint, I sprayed the craters sparingly with a Humbrol Dark Brown spray which gave the desired effect.
