Mad Max diorama pt 6 – Interceptor
In this series of articles, we will follow the work done by Marko Paunovic as he builds his Mad Max diorama. In the sixth article in the series, he is painting the iconic car – the Interceptor.
As I said, the Interceptor is a 3D print of a free STL file. Obviously, if the file were great, it wouldn't be free so I was ready to do some extra prep work on it before being able to paint it. Luckily, DiyConnect did a great job and the car only needed minor repair work to level the bottom plate of the car which I did using DAS air-drying clay. If it hadn't been the bottom part, I would have probably used green stuff or some other modelling putty. But the bottom part could have been done with the clay.
First up it was time to prime the car. (NOTICE: I had several cars, some were failed prints, but I decided to paint them as well – to have a reference and work out the glitches in masking and spreying of all the colours before applying them to the original model destined to be used on the diorama.
The primer I used was a Citadel Averland Sunset. Being yellow, I figured it would be the best for the MFP colourscheme. When it was dry, I spreyed the cars with Yellow car sprey. Then, using a masking tape, I covered the part of the vehicle I didn't want to be red and spreyed the car with the Red car sprey. Again, when it was dry, using a masking tape I covered the part of the vehicle I didn't want blue and spreyed it Blue car sprey.
When the masking tape was removed.
It was now time to add some freehand. I first needed a white thin line between the red and blue parts as well as the INTERCEPTOR sign on the back of the trunk. Both of these I used white oil paint. It is the easiest to use, because any and all mistakes can be removed using a thinner. Practice writing on a paper or some other surface before attempting it on your model. It will still need some fixing using a blue oil paint. I sealed all the colours with Satin Varnish before adding new layers.
In the end, I decided to sketch some reflections in the car glass. I used grey acrylic tones. At a later stage they will be blended into bluish and yellowish tones to resemble sky and desert tones more.
