Stages of "Rust" washes walk through:

Initial stage:
Bare, not primed nor basecoated.
Basecoat with Rust-Oleum inverted marking paint, "BLUE" water based formula.

Each wash is made from one part paint, with three to five(or more) parts water. A drop of liquid floor wax, I don't recommended any particular brand, is optional to help make the thinned out paint flow a little better. Though I did not use it in this case.

First stage wash: Apple barrel brand Ripe Tomato or Falmingo Coral.
Second stage wash: Apple Barrel brand Harvest Orange.
Third stage wash: Apple Barrel brand Pumpkin Orange or Jack-O-Lantern.
Fourth(optional) stage wash: Apple Brand Kings Yellow.

This stage is a bit of an odd one since the yellow paint does dull out the other previous colors.


All six stages side by side for comparision:

In 40k, they say "Go big, or get burned at the stake as a heretic." Found this statue of St. Francis in the clearance section of a decor store, and decided to put it to use as a terrain piece. Started off by increasing the height of the base with some three layers of 1/2" wood to weigh it down some closer to the tabletop. Then a couple of cake topping 3" columns to make it more gothic. Now to arrange some walls, barriers, debris piles to give any figures taking refuge some cover....

I did this mainly as an experiment, but am not expecting it to go anywhere further than this start. Perhaps it can function like a carrot/stick motivator or the like to get me to be more active here than as of late?

Well, it is currently July 8, year of our Lord 2020.... I apologize for not updating this blog more often in the last seven months. The whole Covid-19 has done a number on a lot of people and things. The original project that I was trying to devote all of my time to, while everything 40k or modeling wise was put on the far back burner, has been greatly delayed because of it. And frankly, I am just beside myself during these trying times. As I re-asset the direction my personal projects, my life, and the world are going, this blog should hopefully begin to be a lot more active. Only time will tell... But to show that I have not been completely idle, here are a few pics I did of some quick Armigers I did for my mini-titan collections. Painted them to a high enough standard to qualify for tournament play, only give them enough love from the brush since they will probably see little table time before getting shot up before the end of the first turn.
