I also picked out all pipework with a VGC Gunmetal Metal drybrush, some of the canisters in red, that fits with my Servo Haulers and GSC Sentinels.
I also painted the coils, which everyone else does blue but I wanted them to follow the red insulation glass I've done perviously.
Even the 'chimney' has one and I think it ties everything together.
It does mean the plasma canisters which go in here will need to be red, when I did the one for my Crashed Aquila Lander blue, but the technology is all over the place.
At this stage they were effectively complete, I just wanted to record them here before varnishes etc.
The smoke on the chimney added another subtle addition to the scheme.
A whole lot of effort, for no real purpose, though they'll probably be in next year's Armies on Parade.
But it's about the enjoyment and satisfaction of painting something nowadays. Are they realistic? Not completely but I think they're getting more so, and much like BLESSED VERDIGRIS, rust can vary massively. What you see sometimes doesn't look real, or consistent, but that's because it's a natural process.
It's completely random and throw in a wholly fictional planet with unknown environmental properties and this could be 100% accurate to the conditions on Ferron Proxima.
Super chuffed, now to varnish, photograph and move on to the next thing.
