After letting the base coat dry I gave the models a wash using the Devlan Mud wash from Games Workshop.

This has really bought out the detail and added shading.

Killa Kan basecoat

August 31st, 2010

Having given my Killa Kans a double undercoat, the next stage was the base coat. For this I used a Humbrol brown spray.

I purposely didn’t spray from underneath to leave a shadow with the black paint.

Shadows on the Killa Kans

August 29th, 2010

Having given the Killa Kans a white undercoat, the next stage was to add shadows by spraying a black paint undercoat underneath the model.

The aim of this was that when I painted the base coat on to the models the black undercoat would “catch” any part of the base coat spray that missed and add shadows to the model.

I did add a little more black spray to the rear for the engines.

Undercoating the Killa Kans

August 27th, 2010

I wanted to use a two colour undercoat for the Killa Kans. The first was a complete white undercoat.

This I hope will allow the base coat to adhere to the plastic model. The white really does bring out the detail in these models (compare to the plain plastic pictures).
