Pre-final Shadow Hawk. Most of the techniques used here are the same as on the Primitive Griffin. You'll notice the decals have been weathered with chipped paint an sepia wash as well.

For this piece, I wanted a primitive -K mod. You may notice from the previous post that it still had the medium laser on the right arm--so that was amputated. The LRM-5 was added to the torso with careful drilling. To model the PPC, I carefully removed the muzzle break from a Black Knight (IWM 20-774). From there, I airbrushed black primer followed by dark brown. On top of this, I added two layers of chipping and wear fluid. Like the Primitive Griffin, this piece will have a worn look. Wanting to to make this an homage to the early days of Battletech, I decided on Night Stalker colors to match the Dougram Boxfacer colors. The airbrush scheme was: 1) Black re-prime 2) Grey at 45* 3) White at 0* 4) Blue glaze After this stage, I gently scrubbed away the layers with water and a toothbrush to reveal the brown under the chipping fluid. With the chips made, I added a few red highlights and touched up a few grey and blue spots.
To add to the rust effect, I sponged burnt sienna and bright orange onto the exposed brown. The final step to the rust effect was to wash sepia and bright orange on the rust. To give it a faded, streaked look, I pulled the fluid down with a dry brush.
