Hi friends

The most important effect on this build is approaching....the winter camouflage.

I’m trying new things and I have obtained this!!!

Which is your opinion (be sincere please ) looks so damaged? Maybe strange?

I was trying to do a normal chipping effect to compare (A), but I goes so fast and the final result isn’t correct

And I have painted the 500 kg bomb!!! I have do some dirty and chipping subtle effect

Thanks for your help

STUNNING EFFECTS thats all i can say bravo

Looking great. If I may say I think that the white camouflage was a type of emulsion. I think that it would wear away rather than chip. I think the effect you are looking for is like a really old painted wall where the paint has worn off.

I think the spinner looks ace Polux, it is closer to example B, but not any better or worse for that.

And that bomb... the subtleties of colour & shade are amazing! I'd give that a great build all on its own!

[Guest]

Looking great so far Polux!

Got to be honest.... I think B.

It looks like real life, not a version of, i you get me....

Real life weathering and ageing isn't controlled, sooooo..... B is perfect imo

So, in your opinion, paint all the camouflage with the option B should be correct? O_o

[Guest]

I tend to prefer A because, as Ian has mentioned and I'm sure Steve wil confirm, most winter camouflage was simply white emulsion slapped over the original camouflage. The effect you really want then is white paint, washed away from the two tone green below. I have seen pictures of tanks with quite a lot of the white simply washed off making for a very interesting effect! I think A is closest but I think washed over in streaks with thin white and grey washes.

By the way what you have done so far is simply beautiful. Poetry in paint!!

Hi Polux, great work here!

Love the wing's bottom, bomb and tests.

Regarding winter camo I'm not an expert so I went to search for images. I saw that there are different style but it looks the camo was mainly applied with brushes (brums) and kind of faded.

Effect a is perfect for chipped enamel, but doesn't look right overall.

Effect b is perfect for old cracked paint. From the close up it doesn't look right either, maybe looking it from distance it is. But the effect is great (was the hairspray still wet?).

Gotta go with the 'A' option or a variation of it. The pics I've seen seem to show more 'streaking' than chipping if that makes sense?

[Guest]

Ok guys! Thank you I will wait for Steve and other members opinions, but the option A is the winner!!. But well done, of course :P

Anyway I learn one new thing, the option B is fantastic for some future weathering effects!!! Maybe on the ship's wood...?

[Guest]

This looks fantastic I want to build this again .
