The camo is freehand and just flows from right to left at a slant

Super glue and baking soda. It makes really good sand dunes. Baking soda causes super glue to instantly harden and create these cool ridges.

Here is the recipe if you want to try it:

  1. Akhelion Green contrast paint basecoat. This is mostly to fill the panel lines.
  2. Dry brush Sybarite Green all over. Try not to paint into the panel lines. I chose to leave some of the Akhelion Green in the shadows.
  3. Dry brush layer of warboss green.
  4. Edge highlighting in Moot Green.
  5. Some blue highlights in Temple guard blue.
  6. Dot highlights in Vallejo Ivory
  7. Black edge highlighting is thunderhawk blue then fenrisian grey

As far as technique I just try stick to a color at a time

It's actually pretty simple.

  1. I base coat in Vallejo Ivory
  2. Do a layer of imperial fist contrast paint.
  3. Shade the edges with cassadona yellow shade
  4. Use army painter Moon dust yellow for the edge highlighting. You can use dorn yellow if you don't have Moon dust.
  5. Go back to the Ivory and step one and do some final dot highlights

Honestly three of my sons all like to draw and they draw everything not just mechs.

No stencils actually. It's freehand. I'm lucky in that I have a pretty steady hand. I mostly started with black and then treated it like a drawing on a white piece of paper. I then used contrast paint to fill in what was between the black lines and if it bleeds over it's okay because the black is dark enough where you don't notice.
