[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8761261, member: 4534"] For those of you who might not be familiar with the Fallout video games, these are Protectron robots from the table top miniatures game Fallout: Wasteland Warfare based off the popular CRPG. And these are examples of what I'd call a successful failure in that I didn't achieve what I envisioned but it looks pretty good anyone. In Bob Ross terms, these are happy little accidents. The Protectron on the left was given a basecoat of Mission Models white primer followed by a basecoat of Mission Models sea-foam green. I used Citadel Leadbelcher for the metallic parts and then I used Vallejo Rust Texture to add some rusty spots to the model. Don't see the rusty spots? That's because when I applied some Vallejo oiled earth wash to the model it obliterated the rust spots. And as I used a brush to move the wash around, you'll notice it removed some of the sea foam green to reveal the primer below. But I decided this worked well for a post apocalyptic robot that was centuries old and the paint job probably wouldn't be holding up too well. The Protectron on the right had a base coat of Mission Models white primer followed by a base coat of some weird name for a blue from Citadel. I laid on the Vallejo oil earth wash on pretty thick and let it dry and I like the results. The Vallejo rust texture's failure was likely due to user error. I simply didn't give it enough time to dry and cure before applying a wash which reactivated the rust allowing me to brush it off. It's also possible I didn't shake the paint enough as it didn't really leave behind much of a texture. I'll have to do some additional testing before I render a verdict.
