    Tamiya StuG, StuH and modulation

    Evening all

    Have quickly built and primed the Tamiya StuG in StuH ausf, not to fussy with the primer.

    Will be using Mr Colors panzer grey modulation set

    Steve H and Steve Jones have been very grateful with guidance and support. Always have the Tamiya StuG in stock so ideal candidate for a quick build and experimenting

    Best of luck with your experimenting Bob.

    Enjoy the experience

    Nice build too, I did one awhile ago in Dunkelgelb as a similar experiment

    Dunkelgelb experiment

    I need to get cracking again, getting lethargic with the lockdown and looking after ""The Resident Patient""

    Have fun

    Regards

        afternoon

        Started on the modulation thingy, used the Iwata to add various shadows then a coat of dunkelgelb to hopefully show a differance in the shadow areas

        Not sure if the pics show the effects too well??

        Not blowing my very own trumpet but it looks better in the flesh or plastic

        My new airbrush has arrived so after practice with it i will have a go at lightening the panels etc

          If you study the pics you can see where the effects are, really something I should get round to as well.

            Hi Bob

            The photos have saturated the contrast

            I'm not a photographer, so that is probably not the right term!!!

            Have a good day with the new AB and go extreme, even with lightest/white as the final contrast for tops of nuts and clamps.

            1 coat of sepia/dark brown wash starts to take everything down, so you can't spoil it no matter how light you get.

            Have fun with the practise too

            Regards

            Steve H
