[Steve Brodie]

I know, usually use white glue to tack if no Polycaps, stupid me

[Steve Brodie]

Well she is complete, been base coated and modulation applied, no on to weathering ;

[geegad]

[monica]

looks great,very well done with the mattering,Steve,real like the look you have gotten,very well done,

[Steve Brodie]

Wheels done;






Went to add the decal before adding the white wash, and can i find it anywhere - nope no chance so have ordered a new sheet from pendighaus in Germany - expensive lesson learned !

[Steve Brodie]

Spent an enjoyable 40 minutes in my new spray zone (utility room, really handy having a tap next to you for quick cleaning) adding some winter camo paint, first pass a light dusting of white, then white with a small amount of Ochre khaki in controlled areas, followed by a final pass of white on all the high points, hatches, etc and a high mist of the whole tank. Next the real fun begins with weathering.

[Guest]

Very nice base colour for further weathering.

[monica]

looking good Steve,do like the different tones adds depth,and layers,

[Guest]

These 1/48 Hobby Boss kits are really nice, doing a cracking job Steve.

[Steve Brodie]

Weathering begun, still a way to go yet, base chips and oil blending






Reds should tone down overnight, I hope

[Guest]

Nice start to the weathering.

[Guest]

Looks good so far Steve, nice work on the whitewash & initial weathering.

[Steve Brodie]

Looks a bit better this morning, now the wash has had time to dry along with the rust;
