Some less dramatic progress on the #Stormcrow and #Viper today, another half an hour used.

I did the metallics (joints, barrels, SRM face, ...) again with dark grey, added some Soviet grey-blue onto the blues for a bit of gentle #chipping in hopes it won't look out of place.

For the few caution stripes and the Galaxy lightning bolts I used yellow ochre. For any bears I've got to use an off-white for better conrast, grey doesn't show well enough.

#MiniaturePainting #BattleTech

Another 1+ hour painting session later the chipping's practically done. Overboard? Hopefully not. The ringlike scratches around the turret are supposed to represent damage caused by flying debris getting caught under the turret.

Next I get to try out my new AK Interactive's 3rd gen paints for the wooden boxes and handles.

Astonishingly I spent over an hour with this. The sponge didn't work too well, my paint was a shade too dark still so I mixed a lighter one (sand/ivory) and hand-painted some scratches and dents around the tank.

Then I redid what insides I could with the remaining time, using red-tinted German Grey. For a first try I'm somewhat pleased, even if I'm no Uncle Night Shift by any measure 😋 What I can say is that it's lots of fun! 👍🏻
