Draconis: Spring Clean 2026 (Fallout) and Onward
Sentry Bot deployed
16th July 2026
It has taken a while to get back into it, and I’m still not back up to speed, but the Sentry Bot is now finished.
First up I added in a gunmetal for the metallic areas, ‘guns and gears’. This was followed by some old WW2 tank transfers….
Then I added weathering to the transfers by stippling on some green then some brown. The brown was also applied to the armour at the same time.
Then it was on to weathering the armour. Started out by painting on areas of bare metal using ‘chainmail’.
To add some rust effect I then painted over the majority of the bare metal patches with a thinned Terracotta, adding some streaking by drawing it downwards.
Then I added some brighter rust using a light rust oxide thinned down.
Next I added back in some metallic chips to the rust areas, sparingly, but to act as areas that had taken fresh scrapes or damage.
This was followed by adding a glow effect to the helmet and surrounding armour. I painted in the visor gaps in ivory, and added some thinned ivory to the armour in front of the face. Then I painted over that with ‘Radiation Glow’, and blended it into the wider armour areas around the head.
