PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 486

Painting a Space Hulk

March 2023·p. 54

THE SHORT VERSION

A twelve-stage method gives Boarding Action walls flaking metal, rust, dust and oily runoff. Crackle texture and sponged corrosion sit over dark metallic sprays, then water-assisted washes and orange staining build decay. Selective brass, bone and bright metal retain definition, while gloss mixed with grime makes the final streaks look wet rather than merely dark.
