Just finished these hover craft from The Scene. Mike kindly gave me some machine guns for protection and I used some of his tarpaulins and one of the radars from his radar set.
I started off by cleaning and undercoating them, hiding the joint between hull and skirt with plastruct and adding the extra equipment.
I also masked off the upper part of the skirt and applied some textured paint, hoping to reproduce a non-slip coating. after another undercoat, black this time, I gave them an overall coat of sand after spraying the lower part of the skirts with hair spray.. i did try some camo patterns but the amount of detail on the vehicles it just looked too busy. Having worked back the sand paint on the skirts to reveal black 'rubber' under the worn areas, i masked off the skirts and resprayed the hulls white with black pre-shading, followed by a mid green. This had filters and (after decals) washes applied to try and pick out he detail and give some weathering to the hovercraft..
I particularly like the low cost of these vehicles! I'm a real tight-fist when it come to buying figures so The Scene is a very useful company to source my transport and stowage. Hope you like my hovercraft, thanks for looking :)
