“This was mostly just an experiment in masking techniques,” says John about his mecha diorama. The fighting suits started life as 1/24 scale kits from Aoshima, but John converted them to 1/35 scale with minor modifications. After priming with Mr. Surfacer, he airbrushed the darker colors in random patterns on both. After placing vinyl masks, he added the light gray. Pigments and artist oil rust matched them to the groundwork of Colorado quartz and dirt.
