Hello friends, I didn't have much benchtime the past days but today I had so applied a wash (burnt umber + ultramarine blue + white spirit) on the Tiger and the Sherman turret.

Hi Guy
Looking great is this. Love the ultramarine and burnt umber wash, looks so much more natural than my usual burnt umber and ivory black, so I’m going to steal that if I may....
Cheers

That's looking great Guy, what a difference a bit of wash makes.

[Guest]

Tim, steal away my friend !
Ian, they're dead easy and effective.

The washes have turned out really well. Looking forward to the next update. Have Meng entertained the possibility of stumpy figures yet for all these AFV's??

I don't know if they think of making the figures too but it could be a hole in the market I think. I'd like to complete it with a big headed commander in the turret. I might try to sculpt one but I'm not great at doing that.

The lower hull was given a mud slapping consisting of pigments, acrylic resin and a bit of plaster. I made damp earth effects with Tamiya Gloss Clear. Unfortunately nothing can be seen of it as the wheels were put back on.
Next time I'll focus on the detail paintwork.
