Right im back after a bit of time off i have had a few bench sessions with this project and completed the build and have started on the paint so far the the engine bay and turret has had some base colours applied the base is under construction still i will post up some pics of this soon.

The engine bay had a intial coat of red oxide i used Tamiya colours a custom mix of Red Yellow Hull red and buff then for the shadow colour i added black to the mix.







Then i made a start on the turret this was primed then a base colour of Tamiya Dark yellow once this was done i added a small amount of the dark oxide primer colour to the dark yellow this was heavily thinned and light sprayed on all the lower areas of the turret to create a shadow then i added Buff to the basecoat and highlighted the top edges white was also added to make a brighter highlight.





next up will be to paint the barrel then get some colour on the hull
More to come soon

Paint ! Nice ! It looks good Dan. The turret has some convincing impact damages, I really like the one on the gun mantlet.

Evening all i had some time tonight to get some paint splashed on the hull i used the same mixtures as what was used on the turret only change was to the final highlight i added more white the turret recieved this final highlight to pull the hull and turret together.

Next some clear coat and then on with the weathering







And now just for you Dicky some progress on the base still a lot to get done.

Evening chaps today saw some terrible weather hanging over the uk so it was a good excuse to get in some bench time i am a fan of Wilders work and decided to use some oils to give the dark yellow more of a vibrant colour just as Adam did on his Panther f i used Daler and Rowney oils with turps the yellow was applied in small dots then blended i was not to sure of the effect when 1st applied but as its drying im becoming more confident of the work. Hope you all approve
