Here's a project I've been working on the past week, which was basically painting vehicles.  Traditionally, I've not enjoyed it much.  My past efforts haven't been that stellar.

My idea was to let the base coats do much of the grunt work I find so difficult on large, flat spaces; that is, blending effects.  This was accomplished by using four spray coats from different angles.

I used black as the primary base, followed by silver, then yellow from a few different directions and brown from underneath, spraying occasionally from a 45 degree angle for some bleed over.



The doors were easy.  I popped out two, hit them from the top, not spraying all the way down, then turned the model and did two more doors.






The paints I used.


At that point, it was a matter of doing the details, but I didn't kill myself trying to reinvent the wheel.  I basically cleaned up some spots and blocked out some black areas for contrast.


I got a bit happy, putting together this model and painting him up.


That's about it, really.  Thoughts?
