Armoured Ash Wastes Walker - 03 Painting the model

In the final video in this three part series I tackle painting the armoured walker in a scheme inspired by the look of the original Star Wars Jawa Sandcrawler with it's brown, weathered appearance. Although using a number of paints and enamels the process is kept really simple with the colour mainly being applied with a sponge to create lots of nice colour variations and textured tones. The enamel washes at the end bring it all together and help create that rough, weathered and varied finish.
Hopefully there will be some useful techniques shown in the video that others can use in their own model painting tasks.

Awesome work, love it

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

Thanks very much, it was interesting to see how it started to form as I stuck bits together. Originally it was going to be two-legged but sort of got out of hand!

[@meanderingshade]

I know I already said it was beautiful on Instagram, but watching the whole build and paint stages... Well... Absolutely stunning, love it! Carry on being awesome and take care.

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

@@meanderingshade thanks for the kind message, much appreciated. I’m glad the videos were of interest! Cheers

[@neilnagel9857]

Wonderful job! Thanks for thoroughly documenting your color choices and steps. Very helpful for me.

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

@@neilnagel9857 that’s great! Glad the video may be of help. Cheers

[@curtisnewton895]

nice work

[@Louisvaniterson]

amazing!!! well done with the paintjob! "SUBBED"

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

@@Louisvaniterson glad you like it! I was hoping it would work out and to be honest it was all easy techniques. I’ll be using it again for sure! Thanks

[@goforitpainting]

Awesome

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

Hey thanks for taking a look!

[@cynicalmamc]

Absolutely knocked it out the park sir 👍

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

@@cynicalmamc thanks for that, wasn’t sure if it should have had a more colourful paint scheme (other than this weathered, drab brown rust) but I’m overall happy with the effect. Good to complete it none the less!

[@TheMordious]

Beautiful!👍

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

Thanks, I'm glad it came out ok!

[@simonCX]

Fascinating video and I like what you’ve done with it. ❤

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

@@simonCX glad that this was of interest, still trying to improve things but my focus is on just making stuff and trying to get some hobby time in. Thanks

[@gothbuda6053]

just found this channel what a great channel keep up the good work

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

Much appreciated! Thought I'd make some videos of my hobby stuff and see if anyone is interested!

[@gothbuda6053]

@@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies i will watch them what are you thinking of making

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

@@gothbuda6053 well I need to do some more kit bash / scratch builds for buildings for the ash wastes. I’ve done machinery but not enough buildings and shacks. Also plenty of miniature painting to do for all sorts!

[@gothbuda6053]

@@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies cant wait to watch those videos

[@justgoey6872]

Absolute awesome Kitbash. Would love to see this as scenery in game of Necromunda!

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

@@justgoey6872 yeah that’s an idea also, could be incorporated into scenery no problem, maybe with a couple of bridging walkways from buildings nearby. Thanks for taking a look!

[@batjutsu]

Superb. Thanks for making and sharing 🤩

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

No problem, hopefully the video will be of use to others in the hobby.

[@Slydeish]

Man, this is absolutely great work. I do 15mm models so it's harder to bring out that much detail, but I'm stealing some of your ideas.

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

@@Slydeish I do like those panel liners and washes, useful for getting into the details I find. Hopefully would work at smaller scales.

[@toi_techno]

That's really cool

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

Thanks for that! I'm glad how it came out in the end.

[@philippk819]

This has come out very nice. It inspired me to think about how to use my Plasma Generatoriums. I bought the Termination box for Necromunda only 😂.

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

@@philippk819 much appreciated, thanks for taking a look. Yeah that generatorium could be the basis of a lot of kitbash models. Good sturdy shape with nice industrial details.

[@tonydonoghue5846]

Are you using real engine oil, enjoyed the video

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

Thanks, I was using a product called Engine Oil by AK Interactive and it is a glossy finish enamel paint. Gives a oily look to things.

[@tonydonoghue5846]

@@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies thank you ive not heard of it before, I am in need of more space im into various types of modelling and painting there's so many products and tools these days

[@CaptainSkyhawkHobbies]

@@tonydonoghue5846 yeah I’ve bought plenty of these different products and ended up with probably too many all doing similar jobs. I need to find reasons to use them all!
