I can live with it and lesson learned about the color matching. My nonexistant photography skills might make it look worse than it is as in normal room lighting it doesn't look pinkish, it just looks a little lighter than the others. I have so much stuff unpainted that combined with how slowly I paint, I really don't turn black into red, in that I don't revisit models once dullcote is on unless there is some absolute enormous problem that really requires it. That's a reference to the whiteboard that shows all the murder cases being worked, where black is considered 'solved' and being wrapped up, and red is open/unknown perp.Īnyway, that's how I feel about my Warhams. When the officer starts digging into the murder (which is 'solved') his sergeant chews him out, screaming 'We don't turn black into red!'. He talks to a police officer, who believes him. I don't know if you've ever watched the television show The Wire (and if you haven't, you should) but at one point a character is framed for a murder.

Still, I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. I think I can justify the change in hue by it being from a completely different era, or perhaps that's just how it came out after they repainted it from whatever chapter they stole it from were gifted it from. It really doesn't match the tone of the rest of my army at all they really are more of a brick red. That being said, there is one minor screwup - the paint is too light, by far. I did not (yet) use weathering powder on the treads, but I still may. It only took about 3 days from opening the package to taking this pictures. The paint went on like a dream, no thinning, just from the bottle right into the Sotar. All of the washes were Les Bursley homemade with Liquitex inks. Then I did the burn effect with Minitaire Ghost Tints - orange, magenta, and then purple working towards the tips. I did the metallics with VMA Gunmetal, and did a highlight from overhead with VMA Steel. I primed white with Vallejo Surface Primer, and then did a basecoat of Minitaire Nebula Red, and shading of Minitaire Innards.

I usually use Citadel paints, but for this one I used Minitaire (mostly). No interior, no lights, just a straight up vehicle to airbrush. I picked up a Forge World Sicaran Battle Tank recently and painted it on and off.
