While working on my hard shell scenery, I thought that it would be a good
idea to also update my turntable to make it look a little more realistic. I
wasn’t very fond of all the extra, unused entrance slots on the base, nor
did I like my original gloss gray paint job. The paint job I originally did
on the rotating table itself wasn’t half bad, but it too definitely needed
some weathering effects.
I started by first cutting styrene into curved strips to cover the tops and
sides of the unused entrance slots. Once glued on and painted a light gray
colour, the foundation now looks like a solid piece of concrete. I also
painted the small shack that covers the turntable motor. I then weathered
the turntable, foundation, and motor shack with various pastel powders.
Finally, I sprayed the whole turn table with a layer of
dull-coat.
