I recommend 2 shots of whiskey 30 minutes before getting down to it * 😄

Anyhow cool subject, look forward to seeing how this one shapes up 👍

*this is not medical advice...

Gábor Bélik Autore
I think I'm going to try that 😄

Gábor Bélik Autore
I'm kind of stuck at this point and really don't have any idea how can I bring out the details more..

Choppa Nutta
Looking good so far though dude, not sure what else you could do other than give it a darker weathering wash and maybe chip some bare metal on to it etc. can you find a photo of another tank in a similar colour scheme that has achieved the effect your after ?

Hunter Cummins
Try a dark grey wash

Gábor Bélik Autore
On Google I only Could find factory fresh or a bit dirty stuff. I think ŐI go for the dirt and some chipping 🙂
Thanks for the ideas.

Choppa Nutta
I saw this light coloured tank and thought of your dilemma, I know it might not be entirely right for your tank but worth a look just in case you aint seen it yet 🙂

Thanks. I tried point wash but the wash Just don't run along the lines even after I applied a Layer of gloss varnis. It Just spreads where it touches the surface. 🙁 But I think after a bit of dirt it will Come together.

Choppa Nutta
try a sludge wash first

Gábor Bélik Autore
Thanks a lot! I Will try this. My only concern is the wiping. Wonder how the paper towel likes all those rivets. 😄 Anyway I think I'll use a brush for that.

Choppa Nutta
use a cotton bud for clean up stage

Gábor Bélik Autore
Done the sludge wash...

Choppa Nutta
looks better !!
with weathering there are so many options I get a little bamboozled by all the choices, a catalogue of all the techniques available would be nice 🙂

Just tried the pin wash with oil paint on my Harrier, and I like it though a little more practice and it will get better 🙂
Might work on this too and then perhaps dry brushing some highlights after with a little chipping around the front, hatches and walkways. looking good so far, this project is on track ! as one might say 😄

Gábor Bélik Autore
I think this wash almost have the same result as the point wash. The dry brushing is done already so I think some chipping and dirt plus the tracks and it is done.

Choppa Nutta
I found the pin wash a bit different from the sludge wash, especially in playing with it after I had laid it on the model, but either way looking good 🙂
Feels good to get these old models out the cupboard and finished 🙂

Gábor Bélik Autore
One of my friend is doing the point wash with a thin pencil 🙂 (he's doing mostly planes) and the result is not too bad. And your right the sludge wash is more 'dirty'.

Choppa Nutta
but I reckon that suits armour more though, also with a matt finish it is dirtier than using a gloss finish, you can play with it a bit more on gloss, I just found that I can do things with an oil pin wash that I can't with the quicker soft pastel sludge wash. Anyhow look forward to the chipping effect though be sure to clear coat it before you do 🙂

Best to use a cotton handkerchief rather than a paper towel. Trouble is, I have nothing now to blow my nose on! 🙂

Choppa Nutta
haha you'll just have to do the thumb against one nostril trick, bit messy though .... 🙂

Gábor Bélik Autore
You Just have aim right 😄

Choppa Nutta
haha yeah and have the bucket at the ready, my dad used to do that, looks disgusting, getting the gold watch and chain out as he used to call it....

Gábor Bélik Autore
