I'm really pleased you are showing the individual steps  you are going though to show how to weather your model , I have limited knowledge on this procedure

ta Bob,I will try and show you as I,go along,and do my best to help you see the way I do things,


maybe some what different from others, :/

Great work Moni, lovely stuff! Me like it very much.

ta Si,do real appreciate that,and your liking it so far,

[grumpa]

Great start on an awesome kit Monica  Just love the "oddballs". The Germans were masters of improvisation, and their S.P. guns of WW2 were virtual works of art, nice to see this one being done by you ..........Jim

cannot agree more,Jim,I thinks that's why I like them so very much for just that reason,


glad that your liking it so far,

well did manage to get the top, coats on,did the Panzer gray a little liter than It should,or maybe not, :/


then when over with aged white,has a little sand in it,to show older white wash, o.O


then in some patches,a white,to try and show,rewashing in parts, :/ maybe a little hard to see,


will need to have a play about were the making go,and retouch up work,around them,the


remeason for the liter gray,is with a few washers dose darken up,


well hope you like the progress so far,

[monica]

well got a little done on this one,


started to do,some weathering,must point out it dose need to be blended, :/


but need to start some were,the reason for the heaver rust on the back around the hatchets,and tow


cable,is that it dose have the two,storage bin,s above it,so its a spot that would be very hard to keep clean,


as I know a couple don,t like heavery rusting of a tank in action,but that,s ,the reason why,as I see it,

This is coming along very nicely Monica.

ta Terry so glad that your liking it so far,I do enjoy armor builds,

[Guest]

I must say , I like the look of heavy weathered tank's , give's the feel of what a rough time war really is , your doing a grand job too

ta Steve,so glad your liking this so far,


as this is real a cutting in stage,its a little heavy,but will be all blended,


and for the winter camo,only being white wash,it dose wear,and with any rain at all dose,


run,and needs to be patch up at time,s as its only meant to stay on till the spring rains,


and in the middle of a fight you don't have time to give the old,girl a tub lol, O.o

Haha,  you know I'm not keen on seeing rusty German tanks Monica! Keeping them battle worthy was a high priority, but I guess one or two might have slipped through the net

I know,it,s not real going to be that bad,Patrick,under the stowage bins,yes very hard to get into clean, :/


mostly just the wear to the winter camo,so real not much more,need to blend around were the marking go,


the last 3 builds,I,have had the idea of them in assault, and cleaning of area,s ,well thats what in my mind,


so being in combat for weeks that,s the main idea,

[monica]

bit more work done,on this one, o.O


maybe not to ,all liking,been working on the winter wash,trying to give a look


of its been,retouch a few time,s whit ,different shades of whites, :S


toned back the rust,as well,still need to ad show,to it as well,and that should,


be a nice blend of whites,


well hope your liking this so far, O.o

[papa 695]

Well it's looking all white to me Monica. ( Sorry for the cheap pun ).

[monica]

...............glad that your liking it,Ian,you can see yellowed white as well,and did it ,


with a blue/black wash around hatchers,,and other things,instead of using a red/brown as I would,


in most , 9_9
