Behold! Shawn R.L.’s technique for painting bashed up metal:


Here is a very much enlarged example of how I did the bashed up metal on the Mech Ork.

1 - Base colour


2 - Dab/swish on whatever grey you will use for the metal underneath. Don’t be neat.


3 - Dab/swish on a bit of darker metal colour.


4 - Dab/swish on light grey.


5 - Touch on some pure white here and there. Especially on the corners and edges.

What you’re doing is NMM just without the blending.

Hope this helps.
