A quick recovery that shows no sign of its misadventure.

Pete, Bones, Bill,thanks fellas ! Today I decided not to attach the decals but I've already sprayed on the Clear for optimal placing conditions. Then I moved on to the exhausts. This is how it looks now, tomorrow I think I can finish them.   Rob's "pigments on thick oil paint wash method" was used for this effect. Best regards, AG. |

Kenny, it was a pretty expensive solution but it worked 100% : washing it all off with Laquer Thinner (Tamiya). Bill, today is modelling day my friend, don't know where to start first LOL ! Leon, thanks bud ! VERCORS : Decals where added and sealing starts now. First washes follow soon...  Best regards ! AG. |

I'm happy to explain it to you guys :
Once you experienced the method there's no way back I'm afraid, it's very difficult to achieve the same results by hand painting with fine brushes.
First there was the green layer of acrylic paint,
followed by adding Tamiya matt Red Brown,
then a thick Burnt Sienna oil paint wash was applied,
pigments (rust color tones) were then dabbed into the wet oil paint wash, use enough of them, it's better to apply too much,
excess can always be removed by simple blowing (of the pigments of course !),
then an acrylic green paint layer was applied onto the pigments, be careful not to blow them all away (!), lower your air pressure,
let dry for about an hour and start peeling, picking and rubbing with tooth picks, stiff brushes...
Thanks for your support friends ! AG.

Thanks Tobias ! Thanks Rob, the exhausts are the most attractive parts of the whole kit, as are the massive tracks ! Wash was applied :     This primary wash is such fun to apply, it's at this point that the model gets its first boost I believe. |

I no longer have these SBS's on my website but here is one here that is similar and gives you a rough idea how it works. Also if you have the AK Magazine issue #1 there is an article in there. modelerssocialclub.proboards.com/thread/249/old-crusty-rust-chipping |

Guy, I'll be using this technique on my Panther once I am able to paint again. I have the rust coat on her but that's about it.

I don't know about revolutionary but it certainly is easy to understand and very well photographed, impressive for sure.

Thanks Bones, I think the pigment method of Rob is quite impressive and closest to reality. My results aren't revolutionary, that's for sure LOL !

I never knew that the Bis fought in those colors so I learned something, using that color scheme could be called revolutionary. I thought somewhere I was hearing German colors but in this fast changing digital world things are forever leaving me way behind.

Thank you for the kind responses friends ! Today I found this pic showing the camo-in-progress hours before the paint was blown out of my airbrush cup.  You can imagine I felt a bit down for a couple of seconds. But no worries, the green Vercors is still there and an update follows soon. Slightly off topic now : tomorrow we go for another doggie, also a Kaninchen Daschund. This is Bob, my biggest little buddy :  |
