Showcase: Fuel Reserve

      Here is my Fuel Reserve for the 6th edition's battlefield debris section of the terrain. More below...



     I had a few of these fuel drums laying around and figured that I might as well paint them up now that there are rules for them. It was a pretty simple paint job.
  1. After the basecoat, I washed black into the recesses and then touched it up after with the basecoat again. 
  2. For the paint chips, I used a sponge (the kinds that used to be in the single figure packs), dabbed in in a dark grey paint, and wiped most of the paint off (much like drybrushing) and then dabbed it in places I wanted damage.
  3. Next I painted GW Leadbelcher inside the grey areas, leaving a bit of grey around it.
  4. I used Gryphonne sepia to make the rust streaks.
  5. Finally, I painted the oil leak black, and then added gloss varnish over it.

    1. Thanks! If you do anything with either of those effects, put a link in the comments to some pictures. It would be cool to see what other people do with it. I'm going to try to use it a bit on my Land Raider as well, so I'll post the WIPs whenever I get to that.
