Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

[Mad_Jack]

Fell off the internet for awhile cuz my puter died, but I've spent the time banging out nearly half a dozen Metal Earth models that I then gave away to a coworker's children: Deadpool, R2D2, the Millenium Falcon, an AT-AT and the Black Pearl... Currently assembling Soundwave for myself.
I have, however, started sculpting a figure, roughly 28mm scale... Hoping to have time to do some decent work on it this week.

That looks like something that would have fit into Disney's The Black Hole! Nice!

Been a while since I’ve painted anything. I jumped in with the manliest of beasts!

This is a work in progress: An escape pod from Star Wars: Legion. It's kind of amazing how some Star Wars models are just so darned basic. If you look up the model used in the original SW movie, you'll see that it's pretty much just the same color. But I decided to mix it up a bit and add some weathering. I over did it with the chipping I think and no matter how many times I use AK streaks it never quite looks right. The scorching from reentry doesn't look so bad though. I still need to attach the rear thrusters and of course paint the sandy base.

The black scorch was added using weathering powder. I've had mixed results in the past, but this time I applied the powder and then sprayed some matte finish to lock everything in place.
