Started the project by undercoating my built shop in a base of black and then lighten it up with a zenith of white paint. This gave me a solid base to build off that looks slightly concrete in nature.
On this base, I attempted to rust/wear the model using browns and oranges before salting the area. First time doing this and though fun I doubt I will do this again. It was a very time-consuming process and though the results were fun I doubt I will do it again. With the base now set I moved into the fun part of getting some colour on it. I wanted it to be bold and comic book styling. So I slapped on some red paint to the doors and window shutters, along with the roof guard rail and signage. For the actual roof, I decided to use a neon purple colour I had collected some time ago, though a beautiful colour it took about four layers to get the results I wanted. With these base colours now on I was able to wash a dirty brown over all the panels to knock back the colours a little.
I finished the model with a freehand Kidney Hut Sign which I like but the front signage I currently dislike but until I find a replacement it will do for now. With this all completed I was finally able to chip off the salt and unveiled the rust effect beneath, a couple of transfer tags and we were good to varnish and call it a day. This was a project fun and a lot was learnt from this experience.
What's next though? I want to find some rat models to stick on the base with some spilled garbage, I also wanted to stick on some posters and general clutter, something to make it more lived in. Now to work out how the next shop will look, all I know for sure is it will be an Ugly Clinic and I feel I will be going for a cleaner look so I will dodge the rust effect.
As always drop me a comment and I hope to have more progress for you soon.
