Afternoon all,
Bob, Andy, John and Bob, thanks guys.
Andy, I’ve only did a pre-shade on darker colours a few times before but it disappears each time so highlights is the way for me for now.
Bob, hope your painting went well too.
Progress on this one didn’t stay slow during the holidays either, after the gloss coats it was decal time.
Only the white L-markings on the fenders needed some extra MicroSol to conform to the surface the others went on very easily and not so much to apply(one of the things I love of an AFV).
A dark brown wash for the crevasses and panel-lines, followed by some red-brown chipping on the exposed ridges done with a piece of foam.
Gave all a coat of matt varnish to seal in and here he is:
Good that the highlights show well with the matt varnish on.
Initially I sprayed the tracks gun-metal but found that too light so a couple coats of metallic-black were put on instead.
Highlights of steel were dry-brushed on the contact surfaces during a drive and a couple of matt coats to seal it in here too:
Stug commander got his colours too, uniform mostly Tamiya field grey with a dark brown wash, his face and hands were done with Ammo paints:
Just have to get the tracks on, some dusting and maybe a touch-up here and there to finish this Tammy gem.
Fernando.
