Not sure if you know this but you can post pics here in the forums and it will autosize them to be more user friendly with clickable links for enlargement if your hosting site allows hotlinking.
Tiger-dave the full pic can be viewed by clicking on the image in the other post, it will expand to whatever size you loaded up on the 'net. Pretty neat feature these forums have I think.
1)pre-shading (in this case flat black)
2)Base colour (a mixture of dark green, flat white, & touch of nato green!)
3)Camo ( red/brown with dark yellow stripe) airbrushed
4)buff (for dust on tracks etc)
5)detail paint(shovels etc) + decals
5b)clear lacquer seal (be very subtle with this, dont over spray, just a touch)
6)wash (Sepia for panel lines, bolts, barrel end, smoke dischargers etc, + burnt umber/sienna oil mix for larger panel areas) all brushed on
7)dry brush (normal dry brush technique, with 2 to 3 mixes of flat white for all colours)
8)pastel chalks for exhaust stains, rust etc. (mixed with little water and wash-up liquid)
9)final buff spray (or desert yellow if panzer, or sepia if other tank, to tie in all colours)
10)pencil detail (chips, metal work etc)hope this gives a guide
Very nice build Dave! Also thanks for posting the basic steps you used to achieve the end results. I’m still trying to get those basic steps down, so everytime one of you shares your procedures, it goes a long ways in helping to develop mine. Once again great build. semper fi, mike
Dave,
nice work!
sorry for the slow response, i had a bit of a busy weekend.
the finished pictures look really good, and there is quite
a contrast between the ‘before’ and ‘after’ pics.
well done!
