Take Caution!

Well, not really!  It's just time to paint some containers!

I used the black craft paint as I usually do in this stage, since it flows very well over the wood texture.

I painted the inside a few different shades of grey...

And even put a bit of rust and grime in there just to make it more interesting.

That's plenty.  Since it's very dark inside the interior, I boosted the colors a bit.

Now for the same treatment on the rig.  I mixed in some brown craft paint with the rust and black.

There were a lot of places to hit on the undercarriage.

These views of the palette should give you a good idea of the color mixes.

Since I was using the craft paint and working quickly, I could do some wet blending right on the surface.

Once all that dried, I hit a few spots with very intense oxidation.

Nothing Sci-fi is complete without caution stripes!!

A touch of weathering, and you're good to go!

Stay tuned for the container next.
