So here is a bit more work.
The gauntlet housings have been based in Duplicolor silver and his with a matte clear coat. This matte clear coat helps the lowest viscosity humbrol maskol stay put better, it allows me to be more precise with it.
The whip cord launcher has been based in black around the white panels, you can see the gray misting and red misting with large scratch in it. The front of the whipcord housing has this wierd faded oranges yellow look to it. I replicated this by painting over the base white with Games workshop contrast color golden yellow. Which is sort of a tinting and shading wash.
The plug has been sprayed with Tamiya dull red and the masking removed. I tried to replicate the damage as exact as I could, im not the best on here but I got it pretty close.
The tube sticking out the back is a piece of irrigation hose that snugly fits inside the gauntlet tubing( the sink hose) which I use to secure the sink tubing.
I'll be drawing on the damage and then masking the upper shell shortly.
