Great work so far, going to watch this one

Let's continue folks!


I've started the painting and ageing process. First, primer:






Then, a desert yellow tone:






I highlighted the edges and bolts and I also used a brown wash for shadowing:














Afterwards I painted other details from the chassis and the tires:










Some more brown tips to imitate some chipping:






and brown oils for rust:






Done with the chassis painting!

 

[Judas.1044]

Now, I'll go for some ageing and dust, and for that I used putty, paint and nail polish remover (acetone)






I mixed everything to get a dark coloured liquid putty:






And then I sprayed the mix all over the chassis with an old toothbrush:






This is the result, some nice mud spatters:






But it still doesn't look like mud, so that's why I used some pigments:














After some layers, once the thinner is dry, this is how it looked:


















I used some oil paints in the joints to imitate the grease in the suspensions:






Oh! Don't think I forgot the tires:






So after all, it really looks like it just came out of the desert:






Hope you liked it!


Regards!

Some very nice work indeed, and some great weathering tips.

 

[Piakio]

Good tips for weathering, cheers

 

[Judas.1044]

Thank you all for the comments!


I have continued with the interior of the vehicle:


First the usual layer of primer:






To show further chipping effects, I used a little bit of liquid mask:






Then I sprayed the desert yellow all over the piece:










I also painted the dashboard:






















Once the paint is dry, I have used a toothpick to remove the liquid mask, showing the primer layer:










Then I used some washes to add depth:






Then I painted the bags on the back of the seat:






And weathered it heavily with pigments (remember they have removed the doors)

I had to place the radio and the computer.






I add a coiled wire to the radio as I have seen it in some pictures:






Then I painted the radio set:






Since the computer screen looked a little bit weird painted black, I painted the windows logo to make it look better:






With a drop of glossy varnish it looks great:






And then I placed the radio in place:






For now that's all


Hope you liked it!

I have had some problems uploading the final pictures with the windshield. I hope this time it will work.


First I used the windshield piece to make a draw to imitate the rain marks:






I used that draw to transfer the image to tape:










Then I placed the tape in the clear plastic pieces:






And I airbrushed a very dilluted layer of tan and made some thicker markings with the brush:






I also sprayed some paint with a thick old brush and this is how it looks:






Then I painted the inner part of the roof and the rubber borders of the glass:






And this is how it looks all together:

Lovely work!!

Yep! Windows, eh??


Was a lucky that you don't decided to paint the main Facebook page :D :D :D

 

[Judas.1044]

Thanks moni and polux.


If I had knew how to print decals I would have tried mate!


Hehehe

 

[Fenlander]

Love what you are doing with this, the weathering of the chassis is just superb.

 

[takeslousyphotos]

This is some superb work going on here .......... Great weathering tips. I'm going to have to watch the rest of this build.

 

[Judas.1044]

Thanks everyone for your kind comments!


I've had some crazy weeks at work and I couldn't find a minute to post my advances, but finally here they are:


I finished painting the roof canvas with some desert camo:






















I had the image in my head of a humvee ramming a door (still don't remember if I saw that in Generation Kill, Call of Duty or the news...) Anyway, I thought it was a powerful image so I just tried something like that:


First I painted and weathered one of the rubber tires of the kit:






Then I cut a pewter sheet to get a sling:










Next, I placed the tire in the grid:






Some adjustments and a photoetched hook:














And there you have, a menacing ram!






Afterwards I airbrushed some green and brown, just like if the owners would haved use some spray cans, as you can see in some pictures:














Step by step, it's nearly to be finished...


Regards!

This is becoming an epic build, the attention to detail is superb.

 

[Polux]

I'm with Graham....this is an epic build Javi!!! But it's nearly done
