Bloat Drone

Meddy has just finished her biggest painting project to date, the Foetid Bloat Drone from the girls' 40k starter box. I was initially concerned about her ability to work through a job like this but she kept at it steadily and has done an amazing job for a 6-year old.

This monstrosity must stand over 15cm tall with a lot of exposed surface area so there is a heck of a lot of painting to get through before it is finished.

Through the whole project she has tried a number of new techniques, like the red lens effect on the eye and highlighting raised areas of flesh to get more depth. She has done a great job of adding rust effects to the steel and made some of her own decisions about colour and paint choices such as which areas to paint as steel and which as bronze, along with adding a slime effect to the strands hanging off its horns and to the canisters on the back of its guns (the idea of this thing flying around shooting slime everywhere seemed to appeal to her).
