Nerd Week Part IV: Rolling Plasma Box

Karl hooked me up with a new 'puter recently so I returned the favor by painting up one of his Chimera's (I will probably do a few more vehicles for him in the future).  Karl wanted the simple cathachan camo scheme (green, khaki, and some black).  I used the kylon camo paints to achieve this rather quickly.  First, I painted the whole thing khaki.  Then I covered the would be stripy areas with poster putty. 

After that I sprayed on the green, and hand painted on the black along the edges of the putty.  It was pretty simple really.  In the future I want to make the strips smaller, but use more of them.

Besides some detail work with the guns and the tracks I did some highlighting and then applied some weathering techniques.  The mud and rust effects I tried to create didn't show up as much as I wanted, probably because of the darker colors and how the camo mixes up the colors to begin with.  The mud and such just get lost.  Next time I plan on being a bit more aggressive with it.  All in all not to bad for my first attempt at camo.  I can't want to paint more shit that will kill my poor innocent angels.
