Painting Hellcannon - Some More

I am pretty much finished the Hellcannon. I need to do some slight touch up but for the most part I am pleased. Overall, it was a difficult model to work with. The crew was fairly easy to paint though.



Here you can see the inside of the Hellcannon's engine compartment. I painted the flames in a fairly basic fashion and simply painted the skulls and washed them. I think the entire engine area turned out great.










The dwarf crew was fairly easy to paint. I painted the helmets gold and most of the armor red to match the look of the Hellcannon.

Painting Hellcannon Continued

So I have continued work on the Hellcannon. I put a few details in and reattached the spikes to the wheels, which I had to remove to paint the inside red. Take a look.



This picture is basically showing the rear engine which I gave a rotting flesh look. I simply painted the area with Deneb Stone, dry brushed Rotting Flesh over that and then washed it with black and brown wash.



Here you can see a side few of my progress. I've painted and washed the bone on the front of the cannon. I placed the decorations back on the large wheels and cleaned up the model. I'll post more pictures tonight.

Painting Hellcannon

Lately, I have been painting a number of boring models. Tyranids and such. Nothing too crazy. So I was excited to start working on a Chaos Hellcannon. I picked this model up for commission work. The model itself is incredibly detailed and looks awesome. Take a look at my progress so far.





The buyer has asked to give the wheels a red look, so I started doing that by simply applying Mechrite Red and washing it with Devlan Mud. The skulls are nowhere near finished. I gave them a simple coat of Iyandan Dark Sun and then washed that with red wash. I need to highlight these skulls a bit with a yellow-white mix. Should have a fairly cool result.

Still alot of work left. I will be updating my progress as I go!
