Battletech Weathering Tutorial

[@diverspudph]

That really looks good! Awesome tutorial! Please paint more Battletech!

[@stephenlopez4172]

Gonna have to remember this technique once I start collecting Battletech figures, thanks!

I also take some black and throw some black lines and dots on my mechs to make it look small arms and laser hits put scorch marks on it, but be conservative with them, to many looks bad, I prefer my mechs to be battle worn looking, I even sometimes mark mechs with tally marks on shoulders for kills they have achieved in game.

Question? What kind of flow improver was that? I'm just getting back into miniature painting and I'm not using airbrushes. What would a good airbrush be for a beginner, and are there some tutorials for airbrush painting?

[@braustrupkastell2945]

Great, I really like those MWO aesthetics. Hopfully there is more to come?

[@ChromeDrakeGaming]

Seconded

[@alanprihoda7772]

Got a video on using the baking soda for sand?

[@matthewbirdsall9518]

Doing this method tomorrow! THX.

0:43. How do you avoid coffee stains?

[@jackofclubspainting8125]

wick away excess wash while its wet, and use brushes or a cotton swap to clean the surface before it sets

Where did you get mechs that look this good? I've only seen small pewter ones with crappy detail, and a few years ago I got a battletech starter box and only 2 of the mechs were good. The rest were like they had given up and home printed them :(

[@diverspudph]

Oh, and there's also a "Beginner Box" as well. Just do a search

[@HeroOfTheWeb]

@@diverspudph and now the kickstarter with 92 high quality mechs with a more modern design without losing the aesthetic

[@diverspudph]

@@HeroOfTheWeb Yup! "Bloodnamed" here 🙂

FYI, that's not the cockpit. That's the roof of the cockpit. The actual cockpit is a thin slit below that spot.

[@truehearted2295]

you might want to put a link on your part one video to this video, so that its easier to find

[@dmora2386]

What is that? Thunderbolt? Looks badass.

[@SheepWaveMeByeBye]

It looks cool, but what in earth would scratch the shoulder paint on a 20 meter high robot-thingie? :)

[@wyattturk4508]

lasers, auto cannons, missiles,... a giant robo fist

[@nathanbaney7396]

trees

[@ohthreefiftyone]

They’re more like 10 meters. A tree could do it. Also they tend to get shot at.

[@dubuyajay9964]

Can you do a tutorial for weathering camo plz? Or a flecktarn camo tutorial plz?

[@Stormeris]

That's not the cockpit glass :D that's like the top of the cockpit. Cockpit glass is the slit below: dunked.cdn.speedyrails.net/assets/prod/13377/750x0_p1c1d1mc5kaq9p7p18m71ufd1shm3.jpg

Did I just watch a jack of clubs tutorial where metal paint was used and he didn’t use scale color? Lol
