Here's another piece of armour my Grandson entrusted me with to build for him whilst he is at Uni.
Nice kit to build. All brush painted with Vallejo Model Air Acrylics. I did the camouflage freehand and being brush painted, no need for any masking. I always start at the lower front of the model to try and 'Get my eye in' then make up the pattern as I make my way to the a**e end.
I like to keep my brush painting simple and straight forward, so after painting on the three colours, I simply painted over the complete model with a watered down Lt. Brown and let the paint run where it chose to go and mildly streaking the surface whilst it was at it. I brushed on some silver paint for track road contact then dulled it down with my finger. My grandson didn't want heavy weathering, so whilst this last coat was still wet, I sprinkled some floor sweepings over the front, back, tracks and behind the road wheels of the tank and left it at that. Cheapo Wilco matt varnish to finish it off.
Cheers all and thanks for looking.
