I was asked in another group about this. I want to share my ways to paint a tank in one day:

1. Decide the base colour of the vehicle. Normally I paint it in dark grey for metal effect. Wait to dry completely or use a hairdryer to felicitate the drying process.

2. Spray two coats of hairspray for chipping. I found the cheap one in supermarket works really well.

3. Spray oxidized red, then dot-spray another layers of oxi-red highlighted with yellow for variation.

4. Spray water on top to react the hairspray. Use a hard brush poking the surface for chipping effect. Hairdryer to dry the model completely.

5. Spray clear coat to protect the work (Photo 1)

6. Masking areas using masking tapes or masking putty for camouflage pattern (Photo 2).

7. Spray hairspray (Step 2)

8. Spray grey green colour in different shades

9. Spray water for chipping (Refer to step 4)

10. Spray highly diluted clear green as filter and protection (Photo 3&4)

11. Repeat steps above for the yellow colour (Photo 5)

If you found the process above is too complicated, you can skip the hairspray part. Chipping can be done by hand painting.

The final steps need to use oil painting:
1. Use green, yellow, red colour for the camo patterns for highlights and variations.
2. Use black oil for shadows
3. Use white oil for fading and highlights.

At this stage the model is ready for further weathering work!

You get the sense that when we do this hobby we want to fulfil a purpose by making something which we create with our hands and our hearts too. Modelling is a sheer joy and yes it has its moments, especially the small pieces but honestly, I WOULDN'T change it for the world. Modelling is something which provides you with the perfect alternative to doing something that just doesn't have the same excitement, I am thinking of television and so on. Especially when you are feeling so low and you just want to create and improve. Your weathering is brilliant, I love the small details on what I think is a underappreciated scale of model, I love 1/35 - Plenty of steps to go through but seriously, it looks like you are enjoying it, would love to hear back from you about what got you into modelling, I am new to this page. I love it so much as I do with modelling as a whole! Keep those pictures flowing. They are brilliant!

The pillows are from my pillow guy no doubt. Tanks and trains, two of my favorites. The camoflage and weathering on the Jagdpanzer and the Kettenkraftrad are superb. Even the track is perfectly weathered. A fantastic diorama!

Mr James
Beautiful dio. Love the weathering on the flatbed on the jagdpanzer

Pepe
Great job!

Rui S
Always a joy to see your work 👍

Gary Victory
That's a really nice build Lenny. Love the finish. Top job Sir.

Rui S
Beautiful as always 👍

Lenny Li Forfatter
Thanks guys. I always find unique patterns like this Berlin Camouflage fascinating.

Mr James
The level of detail is quite superb. Love the camo pattern and the amount weathering is spot on

Lenny Li Forfatter
This is a commissioned work for a client in Switzerland. He requested the model to be painted exactly in the same camo pattern as his vehicle when in the army. Spent quite some time communicating with him and making back and forth changes.

Bobby Thumbs
the dirt and rust on the front dozer parts are excellent

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work and weathering.

Nik Watson
Superb scene! Lots to see with detail in every area. Very impressive 10\10 👍

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work. Inspirational.

James C
Outstanding job on the chipping and weathering. Very convincing looking builds. 👍

Thomas E.
Vachement bien! 👍👍👍

Pietro De Angelis
Beautiful dio, stunning LVT, congrats!

Thomas E.
Wonderful work! Outstanding! 👍👍👍

Chip H
Thank you for your insight into it!

thomas112
Great work. How does the center plow arm elevate? Is there some mechanism?

Ben
Well done. I like the way you turned it with the experimental urban camo. But one thing that triggers me is the fume extractor…

Seen this a few times now, both here and on other social media platforms.. and it really bothers me (I served on a Leopard 2A5 and a 2A6, hence I'm flipping like your fine extractor)…

Andrej Bassich
Beautiful work! 👏

Excellent!👍🏻

Shar Dipree
Looks great! 👍🏻

Pietro De Angelis
Amazing work, as always, congrats!

Kees Borgers
Very well made.

Lenny Li Forfatter
First model since September last year. Great kit with no issues at all. Very smooth and enjoyable process.

Stefan Fraundorfer
Shading and weathering look great. An absolutely convincingly implemented Gepard.

CaptGPF
I have to agree with Stefan - I would be happy if I can even come to half as good as this beauty!

Finn
Great modeling, just wich they had more of them in 1/1 scale

Neuling
A very well done and up to date build

Mr James
I agree..lovely

Rui S
Great work . Slava Ukraine 👍

Finn
Beautiful!

JEAN PAUL CAMUS
Bonjours je viens de finir le GMC bofors au 1/35 de Hobby Boss et je me retrouve avec 4 pièces qui ne sont pas indiqué (pieces H15) si quelqu'un peut me renseigné. Merci

Goldman
Great looking model! The weathering is really nice.

Surprisingly the tracks took me much longer to complete. The individual links were quite loose in fitting. They kept falling off in the process which is quite annoying. Otherwise everything was fine. Tried heavy handed in chipping and weathering this time. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Kendrick Brown
Stellar build!! Jealous how much weathering fun yall Armour modelers get to have!

Hemingway
The depth of weathering is really amazing, love the result

Desert Marlin
Very nice work! What a workhorse this subject has become!

Rui S
Excellent work 👍

Lenny Li Forfatter
These figures were recycled from a previous project I did 7 years ago. It shows that I haven't progressed much in terms of figure painting though. Anyway this little vehicle was quite fun to build. I chose the steel wheels instead of the wired version, which should be nicer to have.

gorby
Very nice work!

Pietro De Angelis
Beautiful work, congrats!

CaptGPF
I'de say you figures are well done - you may not have "progressed" much - but I'd kill to get to your level!

gorby
Excellent job!

Pietro De Angelis
This too, beautiful!

CaptGPF
Gorgeous!

Beautiful job, congrats!

"We're not worthy!" well done

Nik Watson
Absolutely stunning, some of the best work I've seen. Congratulations on a truly inspirational build that is something special.

Neuling
Very good paintwork. I always rather doubted whether the North Koreans were really haunted by the tiger masquerade ..........

Mr James
more excellent work Lenny. Top notch build with beautiful paint work

Robert Blokker
That's some great work. You managed to get a terrific depth in those colours. Also love the subtle weathering

Rui S
Very nicely done indeed 👍

Siegfried Van den Bosch
Nice one !

Bruce Huxtable
Superb in all departments!

Gary Victory
Really nice work Lenny, great weathering and love the dio. Top job Sir.
