Dragon King Tiger with Henschel Turret in 1:35, Kit 6254

[Guest]

Hi Ryan.


Pleased to meet you and welcome to the forum.


Again I'm with Patrick's comments about further work on your model's.


However for a first kit you have the basics of building and paintwork and actually finishing a kit .


You have probably seen some greatly weathered afv's and this does not come overnight,it takes a lot of practice.


Take your time and do not try rushing anything and don't try to do every technique at once, slowly build up your skill's with each model.


All the best.

Obviously it's your choice Ryan, but I'm constantly befuddled why people feel a need to spray an entire model silver in order to show tiny amounts of exposed metal. Also, as tanks are exposed to the elements all the time, any bare metal would quickly oxidize.


A far simpler way forward is to either drybrush a little dark silver on areas with a lot of wear or sponge chip said areas. Then adding a few tiny tiny dots of dark brown helps to show the oxidation in progress.

Hmmm... Fair enough. I'll have to look up sponge chipping though!

Thank you! In my research to properly paint stuff I've found sooo many weathering tutorials... I feel like I've barely scratched the surface, pun not intended.
