Building a 1/6 Scale Tank

[Guest]

Well ... I was giving myself many, a lot of laziness the today work... Finally with good music on the radio and patience I have varnished the whole tank.

I don't deal why, but today the painting and the airbrush didn't agree!!

The varnish seemed to be thicker like normal times and the whole set was not working very well.

Well, is do it!!

Now there comes the step that more fear gives me, paint the principal color and create the effect "chipping"...

Due to his enormous size, the whole process I will do it in approximately 9 parts / sections, without counting the wheels that will do one to one...

The moment to itch has come!!

I start the wheels and the (Under-side) of the tank. Weathering and streaking grimes, and polished steel. Remains some details and pigments, but the general view it's ok for me!! Of course after this goes the tracks!!!

Thank you very much to all for looking!!!!

It might be that you are fading under the time it is taking or maybe just scared by the size of it. I will just say the the quality of the work is still top notch! Those streaks look like the real deal!
