Wingspan's Baby GONK Build

[Wingspan]

The weathering will be a multi-step process.  It started with the chipping I did to the markings with the green paint.  Next step is to repeat that process around the rest of the droid with a lighter color to simulate the green paint chipping off to reveal the surface underneath.  First I planned to do this with a metallic silver, but the effect was too bold.  Instead I went with a grey color, more like a primer than bare metal. I planned to do a lot of chipping so this less bold color works better, IMO.  As before, I used a sponge to apply the paint.  Dip the sponge in your paint, blot off most of the paint on a paper towel, then lightly touch the sponge to the surface.  Try to do a random pattern and don't always use the same bit of the sponge.  I did get a bit of a repeat pattern in a few spots, but it's not too bad if you aren't looking for it.










I've been throwing paint at this little guy fast and furious.  At this point I'm going to pause and let everything dry for a few days.  Then I'll do some very light dry brushing with a metallic silver and finish up with a few washes with a gunky oily color to dirty the whole thing.  The final washes will also take back a bit of the chipping effect and make it less pronounced.   He is pretty much finished at this point though!
