Wondered what was going off for a minute with the cotton wool, but you know, it's worked very well. Take my hat off to you, great technique. I'll have to give it a go some time.

Have fun, John

Thank you chaps my wifes cotton wool came in very handy on this one. I have painted up the figures now and the decals are on the tank so next stage will be making a diorama for it. I watched a cool utube vid greatest tank battles about the Alamein so will base it on that with some desert shrubs. Better get some sand

Hi Lindsey, I must give credit to a chap on You Tube called Hamilkar Barkas who has some great tips on weathering tanks. I started off painting the tanks and figures with a black first coat acrylic with my airbrush then I painted the tank green. Next stage was using masking fluid Humbrol Maskol and cotton buds. I use an old washing up sponge and cut a bit off it then dip that in the maskol and dab it on the tanks on the areas I want to be chipped. Then when that was done I but the cotton wool on using a small blob of blue tak to attach them to the tank. Then its off to kitchen to spray the yellow top coat on. Once that was done and dry I took off the cotton wool and rubbed off the maskol to reveal the chipping and green blobby areas.

With that all done I ground up some brown yellow and black chalk pastels into 3 mince pie tin foils and added water and a drop of washing up liquid. I used them for doing a wash over the tank letting it dribble all over select areas.

I then ground up some more chalk pastels sandy color ones and dab on some white glue over the tank wheels here and there then dab on the ground up chalk pastels into the white glue.

After all that a quick dry brushing with some silver acrylic paint on the edges and that was about it. I was going to buy some mig pigments but have not got round to it yet so the ground up chalk pastels is a cheaper options and works ok.

Hope that helps but do check out this link its very good.
