I have done many stupid things during my (short) modeling career, most of the times because of ignorance and inexperience. This time it was my impatience that gave me troubles. To cut a long story short, while I had almost completely magnetized the hull of the Storm Chimera I put it into the oven (about 30-40C) for a couple of minutes, for the glue to dry faster. My beloved wife - completely unintentionally - raised the oven temperature to about 100 C. This couple of minutes were enough for me to have a realistically melt chimera hull. Though I was frustrated, it was an accident.
So I cleaned it up, primed it grey and airbrushed it to the colors of 559th Ira Divina Company.
Currently I have sealed it with mat varnish and applied a burnt umber (what an irony...) oil wash.
A new piece of terrain emerges from its (nearly) ashes.
