After constructing the Kingdom of Britannia Eagle Class War Rotor and the Illustrious Class Sky Fortress I gave the models a white undercoat using a Citadel White Skull spray can.
I also gave the two Doncaster bombers from the Naval Battle Group an undercoat too.

Some more photographs of my finished Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group, well nearly finished, I still need to do the planes.

Check out how I painted the models.

Here is a photographs of all the ships from the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group.
Look at the workbench feature.
After drybrushing the Battleship and the Cruisers, the next lots of ships to be drybrushed and weathered from the Dystopian Wars Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group were the small Attacker Class Frigates.
These are very tiny in comparison to their sister ships.
I think I could have added more details, but key for me was getting them finished to get them on the table.
Having finished the Ruler Class Battleship I then finished off the remaining ships in the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group. First were the Tribal Class Cruisers.
Here are the finished three cruisers.
I am basically finished with these ships and they are ready to use in games.
Having washed the Ruler Class Battleship from the Dystopian Wars Kingdom of Britannia the next stage was drybrushing the bring out the detail and weathering.
The weathering didn’t quite work out as well as I thought it would. I was using a Citadel Shade to add rust and oil, and it appeared to “bleed” the paint underneath.
I am basically finished with these ships and they are ready to use in games. I would like to add some masts, rigging and flags, but not sure if they would work in this scale and be robust enough for gaming with.
As with the frigates and the cruisers I gave the Ruler Class Battleship from the Dystopian Wars Kingdom of Britannia, a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade. I did this to add shadow and shade and emphasise the decking.
I did consider painting parts of the model bronze or copper, to add a victorian science fiction feel, but in the end kept the model mostly grey to be more naval looking. Another thing I have seen on other peoples’ models is making elements of the model a glowing “cobalt” blue colour. I might do that if I go down the route of painting a Covenant of Antarctica naval force.
I think these models have an interesting design concept, but they’re not my favourite.
Next stage will be drybrushing.
