Hi Tim, got 2 StuG and Valentine to paint another 7 in assorted states of paint. Want to get them all done so i can clear the bench for a ship and a new StuG B. It can only go wrong lol

Just primed the lower half, light dusting hoping that a thin layer of sand paint will show some nice shadows and dark patches

[BattleshipBob]

Getting closer, looking ok in thin layer of mr surfacer

First coat, using MRP sand yellow

Have tried to show a bit of modualtion, not too sure if its worked??




Think layer is needed but carefully??

Would appreciate feedback including critical feedback:thumb2:

Will you be highlighting all the raised edges, bolt heads etc with a lighter yellow colour?? Looking good so far

Did a bit of modulation




Not too bad, need to.do the bolt heads, but a mixture of painful hand and shakes would have made it look like a Jackson Pollock, thats right i said Pollock lol.
