A couple of long overdue pics of the M51. I've added some tonal variation to the rear rusted area, and am in the process of doing the staining on the painted front end. Once dry I'll add the dust to the entire model.   Hopefully get a lot done today. |

Great to see another update Boss!!! I should be right back on the bench after a few hours of sleep  I appreciated the Advice!!! Still the tracks have a huge difference... and Lot of SBS needed in the Tamiya to make it more look like a tank, once again Thanks, Rob!! |

ER no prob bro, and thanks.
Spud, thanks bud. LC and Vallejo acrylics used as filters built up in layers and blended together. Just applied bright rust wash from AK for staining the tan paint, then toned this to a more brown color with W&N Vandyke brown filter. Will let this dry and see if it needs another filter.
By applying the rusts in filters you can build up and blend the rust colors, also allowing the underlying rust to show through...and adds texture after many layers.

Thin layers bro, it's all in the layers. When you can't see the different layers then it's right. Gonna slap some dust on this baby, back later.

It's all practice spud. OK I've added a light dusting using pigments, but no fixer, just dry. I then removed the excess with a damp, almost dry large soft brush. I mainly wanted t keep the dust in the nooks. Once done I then did a dry brushing with AK track rust pigments. This was done sparingly and mainly kept to those raised areas. Before the pigments: And after :  You can see the difference a light dusting will make. The key is to not over due things.   i'll put this aside and work on the suspension next. |

Your skills are really inspiring, and the rust looks like the real thing. Not to mention the faded paint and the burned appearance...

Hello all I am new here...found this amazing plave while re-searching for my current M51 project (non destroyed). I found some more pics of the vehicle that is the bases for this great project...taken earlier, maybe shortly after it was destroyed. Has the project meanwhile been finished? I would love to see more pics... thanks Uwe    |

Hi Uwe. No it's not done yet. Had probs with the tracks lately and gave them up. Am re thinking that area before going further. Yep I have those pics as well. Shows the change over time.
