I agree with Gary that it can be scary stuff to work with. Seems like you got it covered well though. It really is getting better and better Guy, it just looks very convincing. Like those detail shots. If you ever decide to take this one to a show, you'll defo got a winner!
Cheers

Luigi, thank you ! Wouter, I didn't make this one to take it to a show in the first place, I just had to have one for my (small) collection of 1:35 scale armor. But I keep it in mind, we'll see how it looks once finished. Carl, thanks my friend ! Glad you like it ! Boots, that's a BIG compliment bud ! Deano, thanks ! The tracks score 11/10, these were the easiest ones I've ever assembled ! And another big advantage : they're plastic so painting is child's play ! Bruce, thanks mate ! Andy, I'm by far not as awesome as many of the guys here ! Always supportive to other builders...unbelievable ! I didn't have much bench time the past days, and also posting here wasn't possible. My father-in-law had to have urgent surgery (3 bypasses) so I had less mojo. He's doing well so now the mojo is coming back. Bill, the scraper holes were great fun to do ! Bones, thanks my friend ! Dicky, I wet the collected pigments with fixer and finer dust effects were treated with airbrushed on fixer. Pete, that's the challenge of it, to create a wide range of effects. Thanks ! Tobi, thank you fella ! The chains were first degreased and airbrushed with Tamiya acrylic mat Red Brown. I then applied dry rust pigments and fixed them with fixer by airbrush (fine misting). Dust pigments were applied to finish them.  The tools were given their colors and covered with a mist of Clear. Then burnt umber oil paint was brushed on and removed for 99% to reveal the wood structure.   More soon, best regards ! AG. |

Guy
The metal and wood are spot on or picture perfect. I like the chain the best as I first thought you were showing an example of some real chain before I saw it was your build I was looking at.

I'm trying your pigment techniques on my PzIII, but I must say, it ain't that easy to get it right, again it shows you truly are an ace at this. Love that chain!

LOL More done...wood'n metal...  And then I saw an imperfection...another rusty chain will be dropped to cover it up.  More dust will be applied now too. Best regards ! Guy. |

Thanks mates ! The tow cable was finished and added to the Char deck, a smaller chain was glued on to make it look a bit more interesting and more dust'n sand was brushed on dry.   One more week and I think it will be finished by then. Best regards ! AG. |

Just keeps getting better and better Guy! Very nice work on the details. That little 'ding' could be attributed to actual tool usage in the field by a careless crew you know. |

Wout, I forgot to answer your question, sorry for that... To obtain the metal effect I did this : - first I airbrushed on Tamiya Flat Earth + Red Brown, - I then drybrushed on Humbrol enamel metal paint*, veeeeeeeery subtle, - AK Metal pigment was also added and polished softly, - dust pigments to match the tools with the dusty fenders. * to create more like blueish metallic tones in the grey metal pigment tones (see edge of the shovel blade). Thank you for the kind comments gents ! I finished the tools too.  Best regards ! AG. |
