Large vehicles can be daunting to paint but with an airbrush and a few colors, it can be easy to do. Take a look at this quick and easy tutorial!

Jack of Clubs Painting has some great tutorials on YouTube that go over how to get your miniatures looking fantastic with the airbrush. Painting Orky vehicles can be easy with a few airbrush techniques, especially with a great metallic base.

Check out this quick tutorial to see how to get that crisp metallic base on your vehicles and be sure to watch the entire tutorial video below.

With your model primed black,  spray Scale75 Black Metal over the vehicle. You don’t need too much of this paint, as it is a dense metal. Spray in gentle back and forth motions across the vehicle to create clean passes. It may appear thin and speckly at first, but with each pass, it will clean up.

Next, mix Scale75 Thrash Metal into the airbrush and spray it over the top of the model where light would shine. This metal is a good, shiny steel color and gives a great compliment to the Black Metal as a highlight. Again, spray in a back and forth motion over the model to get a nice, even spray.

Finally, spray Scale75 Speed Metal on the insides of the panels to bring out the silver highlights and give an almost aluminum finish. This silver does have a slight hint of blue to help set it apart from the previous metallics used. Focus on the brighter parts of the panels and top of the vehicle itself so the Thrash Metal shows through. In case you are fond of gambling, but aren’t ready to leave your house, you’d better shop around in search of an online casino in Australia. There is a good number of Australian licensed online casinos offering lots of different casino games giving us fun and excitement. Moreover, playing a real money game, you may make a big win.

Once dry, it is shiny and a great metallic base for all the trim and details you wish to add to the vehicle. Be sure to check out the entire tutorial below!
