Today I’m showing the final of the Ork Planes, the Blitza Bommer that I painted up a while ago when it was first released. I have to apologies for the quality of the photo as it has a very blue tint to the background. My photo skills have greatly improved from when this was taken as has my camera. But I think you can see what I did. Again. Like the previous Ork planes I painted it mainly using a sponge and airbrush. I think this technique works quite well with Ork models. What do you guys think?

YES! You have to tell me how you gave the cockpit that dusty look. I need to do that.
Hi Henry, It was a long time ago when I painted these. But as I remember I airbrushed the transparent cockpit with a matt varnish several times to give it a rough surface as opposed to the shiny plastic surface. I then would have painted the metallic window bars with GW Boltgun metal or any other paint equivalent. Then I would have completely dusted the glass areas with Mig pigment earth tones (you can use whatever colour you like). After that I would take a tiny damp sponge and removed the dust from the centre of the glass areas and then airbrushed matt varnish again to hold the pigment in place. Hope that helps
I love the grimy, greasy, oily look to that thing.
Hey Cheers Dylan 🙂
