This is just a quick and simple SBS for doing a freshly burnt out tank. I'm using just the gun for this and will use a more advanced technique for the rest of the turret. This is basically the same technique that Edi used on his T-34 but with less pigments.
First the primer coat, here AK acrylic gray primer.
Next up I applied a base rust color using Tamiya flat brown.
Next I varied the rust by using two mid range rust colors from Lifecolor. This was thinned 75% paint and the rest water. This was randomly sprayed on the model, but mainly in the areas that I want rusted.
I then heavily thinned some Tamiya flat black to the consistancy of a filter. This was sprayed in the nooks and the gun breech.
To blend the rust colors and black, and also to lighten the rust a bit, I thinned a mix of the AK rust. This was applied as a filter and in two coats.
Now for the charred paint effect I simply used an old brush and very small amounts of AK dust effects in a similar manner as the sponge tech. This was also thinned and applied over this to blend it more and lighten it.
I then repeated this with Lifecolor acrylic dust.
The last thing that I did was darken the edges with AK black pigments. You should use this sparingly and repeat it until it looks right to you.
So that's it in a nut shell
A very simple technique that is great for small areas and parts, but could also be used on larger surfaces. To get even better effects, layering of different techniques and products can be done. But it does require practice to get the hang of it.
It took about 30 minutes to do the gun, not counting taking the pics and the primer coat.
Hope this is useful ..
