First 12 Vanguard done!


Hey all,

Finished my first 12 vanguard, I wanted them to be quick paint jobs but...>< they took longer than I hoped, and were really frustrating at times.

I started by pre-painting all the bases that came with the set. I did a rust color base and then some hair spray and salt weathering with a light grey airbrushed over top.

I then air brushed the vanguard yellow, with some burnt umber shadows. Then I washed them with badab black and was not happy with the final results. So I went over them with some yellow highlights that took way too long. Finally, I washed them with Model Mates rust brown. I finished the bases with the same Model Mates, and painted the edges with black.

Would be glad to hear what you guys think.

  1. These look great. I really like your weathering; a skill set I need to improve on! Did it take you a long time to remove mold lines?
