Vat's Happening??!!



While I was looking for some WH40K Miniatures I bought last year, I came across this piece of terrain that I forgot I even had.  This is a Chemical Tank.  It was a 3D print that looks amazing. I painted the liquid with shades of green, yellow, and a bit of orange.  The tank was painted gray with charcoal support columns/  The pump and bolts were painted a dark silver.  When everything dried I gave it a wash of black paint and later went in with some light gray highlights.  

I added some rust to some to the metal areas,  I used the old super glue and water trick to created the overflow down the side of the tank. (Pour the super glue onto the area you want to create the flow.  Let it sit for a second or two.  Dip you finger in water and touch the superglue areas you want to raise. Repeat until you get the desired texture.)  When it dried I painted it the same way I did the liquid.  When it dried I went back and gave all the green areas a coat of sparkle paint to give a metallic feel to the chemicals.

I added two decals; a Danger Sign, and a Toxic Waste Sign.  I clear coated everything and called it a day. I plan to add this to my Chemical Plant Project whenever I get to it. Take a peek.  Don't get too close!!!
