Great paint job Scottie. Glad to see you did the recoil wear on the barrel. Good luck with the weathering

Cheers Steve, glad you like it so far. The next post shows the start of the weathering process.

Next one of my favourite parts of modelling, the weathering.

The gun platform received some work to remove some of the sand paint (following some hairspray) where the gun team would move around. Next some chipping. Followed by a oil dot wash. I want to show a wagon that has put up with the desert conditions for a while. Saying that there are some areas that I might tone back a bit.

Next will be a pin wash to bring out the detail.



I need to do a bit more work on the gators.



One of the 6 feet.



The gun shield hopefully you can make out the light streaking.



cheers
Scottie

Keep going like this Paul and some of will give up and take up knitting !

We could create a knitted model thread? I've not tried knitting Panzers yet!?!

Yeah Scottie, I'm with the rest of this crowd....I find the streaking and chipping to be about right for a desert environment. I apologize for "slippering" into that "ball" of banter over "knitting" but I couldn't keep from "needling" JR just a little! I hope I can "mend" my ways and "knot" be such a bore in the future! yours, "stitchy" Rick.

That's worked a treat. Well done. Looking very good.

Thanks Jim, it doesn't look to bad but could have been better.

Excuse us Paul .
Andy it might be a damn site easier than plastic , at least tracks would have natural sag Thank you Paul .

No worries John, I'm enjoying the banter.

All joking apart Paul those photos show some great realisem.

Thanks John, but not 100% happy with it.

Simply outstanding Scottie..... Rather you than me on the gun shield!!!

Keep up the great work.

Andrew, cheers mate it wasn't as bad as it looks.

Rick, cheers mate as I said to JR not sure I'm 100% happy. No worries I just need to find a knitting pattern.

Jakko, I keep meaning to get myself a pair of those.

I wouldn’t be seen dead in them, I know that

 

[scottie3158]

I wouldn’t be seen dead in them, I know that

I bet your wearing a pair now

 

[scottie3158]

Very nearly finished. As I said earlier in the thread I'm not sure I am 100% happy but it was a good learning curve. Pigments have been added tried to make the vehicle look like an accumulation of dust and sand had built up.

Please be honest and let me know what you think both good and in particular where It could be better.










cheers
Scottie

A few more little pieces to add and i will post it in the finished section. Then on to a base.

 

[Airborne01]

I think you and I have a similar approach to weathering and colour palettes; looking forward to the end product!

[Jakko]

Yes, there is nobody around to see me, so …

Looks very nice to me Scottie.....I wouldn't go any farther with it if I were in your Slippers....er....shoes.
