WALL.E

Those of you who have read my previous post will know that there are a number of changed in my life. One of the side effect was lost of patience. So, I decided to do something different for a change too.

The WALL.E model is actually a toy. It was pre-painted and there was already some weathering. I gave the model a generous coat of flat coat before embarking on further weathering.

I first gave the "model" a coat of Raw Umber oil paint wash. After that, I did pin point wash on all edges. This is followed by some paint chips by gently dipping a hard brush loaded with Raw Umber oil paint.

The base is first given a layer of "mid", made up of a mixture of wall putty, white glue, fine sand and static grass. The mixture was dyed with Tamiya Acrylic Flat Earth and Flat Black. After applying the mixture, "WALL.E" was pressed onto the mixture to create the track marks. The problem with that was that there were wheels below. So, I can only use the front and and the back part of the bottom tracks.

The trash and debris are electronic parts from an old and completely damaged cell phone. The boot holding the grass was cut out from an old but horrible looking 1/16 scale figure. The grass came from the bristle of an old brush. All these were pressed into the base while it was wet. Raw Umber oil paints were applied as wash when every thing was dry. Finally, WALL.E was glued on.









The entire model was entered into a Mini-Diorama Groupbuild organised by my friend's hobby shop. The other entries can be seen in the links below.
