The primary reason I got into this hobby is the building and painting aspect. Being able to play with all of my models is really an excellent bonus to that and has become a larger part of my enjoyment. That being said I'd rather not turn the blog into a chore by trying to force myself into writing bat-reps and just write about what I do each week.
Several weeks ago I finally got around to painting some more Dust Warfare stuff. First up is the first walker I have painted the Medium Panzer Walker. I recently found out about a relatively new hobby shop a few blocks from where we game every week. They don't carry much in the way of wargaming but they have begun to stock some Games-Workshop products. They have an awesome collection of scale kits and a wide array of paints and weathering products. I picked up the DAK weathering kit from AK Interactive, it includes a wash, a streaking grime, and a filter. I watched a few weathering tutorials and ended up with what you see here. The filter helps modulate the base colors, the wash helps bring out the details, and the streaking grime adds streaks of washed down grime. I also started using a fine sponge to add the chipping and then paint some some finer scratches here and there.
