Test Paint II: MK Steam Golem

As I dutifully assemble the Rhulic models I have acquired, I am still questing for a paint scheme. I think last night's efforts may have born some fruit.

Utilizing Army Painter's Leather Brown spray, I worked up another test paint, this time using a Mage Knight Steam Golem. I decided to incorporate some of my Foundry 3-step Rawhide, but only on selected armor plates, so the effort could be repeated over numerous models in this force.

After adding some metallic paint, I used my Devlan Mud-white glue mix, and then highlighted the Rawhide up to level 3 in spots. I think this may be my scheme for the Rhulic force. It has a military look, but incorporates some brighter color, and I can dress it up with weathering and Rhulic runes if I like. And the scheme will yield better results than this with PP's highly detailed metal models, vs. MK's somewhat softer plastics.











Hopefully this weekend I can actually dive into some Rhulic models and take a few pics to show them off!

Thanks for checking out the blog!

  1. Looks very nice. I use one of these (and have at least one more still waiting treatment) as a walker for my 15mm VSF French. Only thing I really need is a crewman for the open cockpit I added to it.
