I Need Your Thoughts on #2

This DML StuG III Ausf G is my second attempt at a SPG.

I applied two coats of Mig filter(tritone)and let it dry for almost

three hours between coats. Is this what it’s supposed to look like

or should I put on more coats?

Will the wash that I do next cover up the filter effects that I just

did?

Thanks for your time

looks good but not dirty/dusty enough

Tony, I don’t know how the Mig products work, But you will at the least need a pin wash. Just wait for a while, somebody here has the answer. She is looking good though.[tup]

Tony,

Without any “before” pictures, it’s hard to say as I honestly can’t see an appreciable effect that the Mig filter achieved…but then filters are supposed to be subtle.

I never thought of taking a before picture. I guess I was looking for a

big change like the wash does but subtle it is. That’s why I was thinking the

wash would just negate the filter.

Thanks

I got the wash on and even did a little pin washing too.

The hatch doors are not white,it’s just the shine.

It’s been a good day,how about yours?

You would really need a before and after. However, the filter is not at all supposed to produce the same effect as a wash. I would say that it looks almost right on. The main advantage of a filter is in exactly the scenario you have used it in: multicolour camouflage. It is supposed to unify the colours, and create a consistent tint to all the colours, thus bringing the whole thing ‘together’. Overall it is an extremely subtle effect.

Exactly what Bill and zokissima said. The filters are a technique that should be subtle in nature and built up to achieve the effect your after. I usually do a basic overall wash inclusing a pinpoint followed by filters to give some tonal variation. I would go ahead and bring out that detail with a pinpoint wash and from there see if you want to add some more color varaition to your weathering. Good Luck.

I like it. You could leave it as is, or go a little further with some mud and dust. But as i said i like it a lot at the mo.

Definitely can see more of the detail now with the application of the pin wash Tony. [tup]

A small suggestion, you’ve got the periscope faces on the commander’s cupola painted green. They wouldn’t actually apear green, they would instead have a dark brown (almost black) color due to the housings being made of Bakelite. The glass faces were clear and weren’t particular thick, so no greenish tint would be present.
