so this is the first armor I’ve worked on. Ive gotten some advice to get this far and wanted to see if there were some techniques i should use when painting the camo and finishing the model. I airbrushed the basecoat on and now I’m doing the 2 color camo. Basecoat is 988 khaki. 1st camo color on is the 882 middlestone, and next is the 889 olive drab. All Valejo.
I’m brushing on the camo colors to try and make it more realistic to the time. Using a fine tipped brush and wondering if this looks right/ok or if I should try something different? Take a look below and let me know what you would recommend. Once the camo is done id love some advice on weathering.
You paintwork looks good to me. Maybe just hit her with a gloss or semi-gloss overcoat and then a pin wash. Or maybe a sludge wash, I’m not sure which would be better for that scale and picking out those zillion teeny-tiny rivets would be a royal pain.
And remember she’s probably have mud smeared all up the sides and I think the tracks would carry it up and dump it down as well. You’d be well off finding some good photos on the internet and using them for reference.
Ok, I continued with this method. Thanks for the confidence builder I used a fine brush. Here’s how it turned out. Tomorrow i will clear coat it and put on the decals. Then do some “mudding”!
