This was my other fun entry for our Aussie GD this year. It's a plastic sentinel, but I used plasticard to make the cockpit enclosed rather than open...mainly because I couldn't be bothered painting the crew, haha! 
This is actually the first vehicle I've ever painted, so it was fun to try something new for a change, and have a bit of an experiment. Painting this figure was really jsut an exercise in weathering, and trying to create as much texture as possible on all the large armour plates.
I used masking fluid to create most of the big scratches and chips in the paintwork. After udnercoating the figure, I painted the whole thing with a dark brown-grey colour, and then added some texture to the surface by flicking on different colours with a toothbrush. Then I applied the masking lfuid, using both a sponge and an old brush to create random shapes. Once this was dry, I re-sprayed the whole figure with white undercoat, and then painted the armour plates as normal with the light blue-grey colour. Once all the basic shading and highlighting was finished, I carefully rubbed off the masking fluid, revealing the dark chips underneath. And then I highlighted the under-edge of the chips, to give them a more 3D aspect.
I was very lucky to win the gold trophy at GD, because it was very close between a few figures. We have some strange categories in the OZ GD, which means that the sentinel was competing against huge tanks, fantasy dragons and monsters, warmachines etc.. There was a very well painted giant in the category, that easily could have won the gold instead. But I guess the luck fell with me this time.
There are more, larger and better quality photos on my site, as usual.
Thanks for looking!

Great work as usual, and it was fantastic seeing this model at both round 2 and the finals. The damage to the armour plates is really done well. | |
