Morning Simon
We have paint and it looks very nice. The variation looks to have worked.

Made me feel more like modelling having seen this :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:.
Nice work Simon

[SimonT]

Cheers Lee - you won't see much of it when done as I am going for the washable white again

Jim - only used one highlight this time

John - that's the magic of 4B0 :thumb2: :smiling5:

[SimonT]

day off today
Spent two hours painting it white then scrubbing it off again
Leaving more white than the T34 - quite hard to do. Removing the washable white is quite addictive
Good fun

The numbers are Verlinden rub down
Bought recently but obviously a few years old they have dried out
Started off as 305 but the first five disintegrated and you only get two so scraped off the bits and used four instead. A few cracks but not total disintegration this time

Buying old rub down transfers is not a good idea it would seem

[minitnkr]

Amen. Looks good tho. PaulE

[JR]

Perhaps it could appear round the corner in my Panzer 111 dio, that would scare them Simon.

[Fernando N]

Great whitewash finish Simon :thumb2:

[David Lovell]

Gob smacked seems a shame to paint it:thumb2:

[SimonT]

Cheers Paul

John :smiling5:

Fernando - well we shall see. I do like this washable paint though - gives reliable results. Does make the original paint look very faded though

Dave - daft thing is these days I could have just got the Miniart version out the stash and assembled it for a much better build. Not as much fun though. One of these days I may get to the Miniart and do an OOB


It has had a grey filter to tone down the white slightly and been varnished with Ammo Lucky Satin

Day off tomorrow, or rather later today as it is now early morning, so may get a little more done

[Wouter]

ah, a white wash, always jolly good fun doing that ey Looks good. Nice base for further winterizing!

Cheers

[SimonT]

Good fun Wouter even if I don't really know what I am playing at :smiling5:



made a start on some shading using neutral grey and dark brown

[Strenko J]

Lovin the whitewash

[JR]

Top notch Simon. looks nicely worn , like the scuff marks around the hatch.

[Steve Jones]

I was a bit worried when I saw the first photo but reassured when I saw the second batch :smiling5: :smiling5::thumb2:

All heading in the right direction. Its a lot more fun when you dont know what you are doing:tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy::thumb2:

over the past week I have thrown some mud at this one

dried mud first followed by the wet mud
