Looks l;ike the brown and green overspray was applied with an airbrush at low pressure/high dilution while moving the nozzle relatively quickly to avoind biuildup of the color and maintain the softe edge. The builder would have to ell you the specifics of the weathering but it looksl ike a brownish wash was judiciously to panel lines and at the bas of raised detail. There was minimal drybrushing. The zimmerit appears to be some form of putty textured with eithe a commercial tool or a fine toothed saw blade.
Try e-mailing the builder through E-bay and see if he’ll give you more details. You’ll have to register with E-bay but that’s free and doesn’t require a credit card.
I don’t know how the builder did it but the same effect could be achieved using a blend coat. Paint the dunkelgelb first, paint the red and green second and then spray the whole model over with dunkelgelb again. The final blend coat of dunkelgelb should be thinner (about 3:1 thinner: paint) and sprayed randomly but especially hit all the camo edges. Try it on some scrap plastic.
A filter is similar to a blend coat. There was a good link to a filter article around somewhere where the author brushed on the filters. Filters can get all complicated by using color theory and properties of light and all that stuff. It basically means changing a base color into another. Kinda like spraying blue onto yellow and getting green.
I would be interested in the builders answer if you email them.
the most i know about filters is that basically, they are tints. essentially, you take something like 90% thinner to 10% or less of paint. its supposed to be tinted thinner, not thinned paint, just remember that. the filter is like that on a camera lens. its a coloring- not necessarily of a color directly on the vehicle, but one that adjusts the hue of all the colors of the camo. you know how in different lights you can see different variations of the same color? well the idea is to capture one of those shades on the model so that it looks like that all the time. i know its a rough explanation but thats the best i can give you. if this isnt satisfactory, just wait or post something specifically about it to get a reply. in any case, i hope i helped somewhat…
Well the color can vary that’s why I didn’t give an exact name. Just as long as it looks dirty rusty grimy that’s fine. Thin it way down and apply it to various places, edges of panels downward rain streaks etc. Then lay down the fade coat.
