OK we're ready for paint...
First thing I did here was dirty him up all over, this is done by giving small areas a good coating of flat black maybe watered down a little to get INTO all those hard to reach spots then wipe it off.
I usually do this within 1-2 square inches at a time.
Notice how this really helps the overall look of the damage !
Now do that with silver over your cracked glass ! ! !
While you got the silver out start touching up all those wounds ya burned into him...
And inside that arm.
You can also run your brush along the leading edges to give him a weathered/scraped up look.
Once everything has dried I will go over all the silver added to the wounds with a flat black wash. Done painting.
Wiring:
This is tough to explain cause I do it different every time.
This one I wedged in some metal wiring, crazy glued elec. wiring to it and added some ripped bits of tinfoil(industrial) to fill in the spaces.
I can't really plan anything until I have the arm opened up - then you gotta work with what you got. Wiring on the main body is usually attached by unscrewing parts(seat or inner grill), wedging the end of the wire under the part and screwing it back down.
One thing I ALWAYS see on battle damage figures with exposed wires is brand spankin new clean cut wires...take some needle nose pliers and get crazy, squish bits here & there - kink it, twist it... and FRAY the wires ends - make the wire casing look burnt at the end with a touch of flat black.
Guess what ? - Yer done !
Thanks to all who supported and inspired me - You know who you are ! ! !
Let me know how many you ruin !
