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.

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.
