Russian T62 ERA (Mod.1962)

[Guest]

The b/w method of pre-shading is an interesting idea. I've seen it done to good effect over on Missing Lynx.
Lucky the boys on the 4BO site are only into WWII vehicles; could have been nasty using a non-approved colour

Thanks for your thoughts Patrick.


I like pre-shading,I always find it a good basis for further weathering(even though a lot of it disappears)


I no longer worry about exact colours(but if someone wants to that's fine).I have way too many things to model to worry about such things.


If it looks right to me,then it is

Hi Friends.


I did the 2nd misting,then added some highlight's using Tamiya XF65 field grey(Are you laughing with me Patrick)


I then gave it all a gloss coat,ready for the weathering.

Should be finished before Eastenders

Haha I did have a gentle chuckle Ralph! That looks very nice, there's a lot one can do with a monochrome scheme & you're nailing it

Hi Friends.


I gave an overall oil wash of burnt umber and a very limited amount of rust in areas I felt needed it.


I also did some sponge chipping and then added scratches with a silver pencil.


Everything was then given a matting down.


More work to do today.

looking spot on to me Ralph, that wash certainly adds depth.
