A Tale of TWO Bunkers <HELP!!!>

OKIE DOKEY>>>

Two Verlinden bunkers.
2cm Flak
Atlantic Wall

One painted black from a rattle can…
One painted Tamiya deck tan (closest acrylic I could find to match Floquil concrete)

ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACKS SPEAK UP>>>>
What is my next step for each???

Proposed Plan:
I planned to drybrush the tan bunker with olive drab and some browns and give it a wash of some umbers of sorts…
The black bunker I plan to spray it with the deck tan and see how it looks and then dry brush like the flak bunker

Please ring in some suggestions with techniques and ideas. I thought I would start with them like this, post it up here, and then see what happens :slight_smile:

I mean they both cant come out terrible, right? [xx(]

Take a dremel tool and pound the stuffing out of them so they look like they have seen action or at least been there some time and then paint how you wish. From the photo it look like they were just built yesterday, no gouges, cracks, shell marks, worn area that has been traveled alot… to me they look almost brandnew… of course my moneter isnt that great either. hope this idea helps. =)

The bunkers are just sitting on temporary bases for the picture. I will have the ground built up around them. I am having a hard time proceeding with the painting of them. I painted one a concrete color (Tamiya deck tan) and I guess I need to give it washes and drybrush it. (with what colors though?[?])

The other one I painted black and I guess I am planning on airbrushing the centers of the areas leaving the black to show the corners off [:)] ? Then drybrush with what colors? [:(]

muzzleflash88 I would think an overall wash with a light gray to give it a good concrete look and then do earth tones and a little dark gray here and there on the weathering. I also think putting some damage on them would look good too.

Just my $.02 worth

UPDATE:

I took Tamiya Flat Earth and cut it heavily with iso alcohol to thin it for the wash. The results look great, but it seemed to pull up the deck tan color below. Next time I will use a dullcoat barrier before using my wash.

Updated pics of step by step coming soon (when it dries) :slight_smile:

Well here are the results of today’s experiments on the deck tan flack38 bunker.

Painted Deck Tan and allowed to dry,
Wash of Brown applied to one area
Wash of Brown, then wash of Olive Green to another area.

That’s really looking good witih the olve green on there muzzelflash!! keep it up!!

Thanks!
man what a brave day it was, all kinds of experiments going on over here :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m gonna hit the entire bunker to look like the lower portion in that photo, then nestle it into the groundwork and make it blend in with grass and a foot trail. :slight_smile:

i get a old hobby knife and sorta scrape the edges and put in cracks, bullet holes, exc. tcolor

sounds good man. and one other thing i took the |AR2D| out of my name on bf1942, i hopw to see u playin again!

I added you to my game buddy list, so what is the new name?
I play as Muzzleflash and if my friend is here on the other pc he plays as Capt. Kirk.

Do u play any of the EOD mod?

Nested into the ground…

ya i play eod sometimes, but it reaaly pisses me off. mainly because all the weapons suck! i play as Mark_the_Killa!! so i hope to see ya. and how do u add people to the list so u can find them? anyway, they loook good.

There is an option to “view buddy list”.
then just right click and add buddy and type in muzzleflash and you can find the servers that I am in if I am playing

Looking real good Muzzleflash … please keep us posted on the progress.
