It took me quite while to decide on the aesthetic I’m after for my AT army but I’m going with free hand over a pink / grey armour plate scheme. You can read about how I came to that here.
I’ve also built the sub assemblies for the knights and titans (you can read about that here). When I’d put everything together I could see that there are a lot of fiddly panel edges which spill over onto the armour panels themselves. My plan to cover the panels in freehands (skulls and masks) means I need the larger armour panels to be as clean and empty as possible. So some scraping has been required.
I’ve done a lot of armour plates but here are some representative ones:
It’s a fairly agricultural process to be honest – scraping with a knife then sandpapering to smooth it out. It look horrific at the moment because of the contrast between the cut plastic and the original but once this is sprayed over it’ll be fine. I did make one slip in the process with quite a big armour panel:
This has been butchered a bit, to the extent that I’ve removed the panel edging on the right of this. I’ll have a look at how it all goes together and either leave it or reinstate it with some green stuff.
So that’s it – not much progress this week as I’m running out of things I’m able to do here (I don’t have my paints or any more models). Next week I’ll be looking at something a bit different – picking my hypothetical AoS army.
