On the exhaust muffler, a pattern is obtained by spreading abundant Rust SDW. Some minutes later, it is textured with an old brush. As it has dried, a darker tone is added into the same manner. The base coat was Alloy , from the W Metals range.

Thanks to you all 😊 Now adding more of subtle rust effects
-
@ Robert, SoftScience, John. Thank you ! 😊 Now Rust SDW references alone for blended shades
-
@Dads203 : interesting knowledge, thanks Given the dry climate where the original tank seems to be stored, rust will have sober and dark tones, with minimal leaking. We'll use mixes of SDW Shading Color TESC60 Drab Grey, with Rust SDW 01 and 04. Both ranges are blendable, but SDW Shading Colors are more opaque, while Rust SDW are more blendable. I've used different proportions upon the need. Here, more paint into the mix for the initial touches :

...You can have it any color you want, as long as it is pink... (Henry Ford ? 🤔😄 ) . I haven't still decided about a base or not. Now, shapes enhanced with selective washes of Filter & Wash TEFW10 Steel. Where a softer effect is needed, the wash is spread on a thin layer of water.
-
Despite being acrylics, and suited for "normal paintjobs", these paints can also be graded like oil paints. Spread and blend with a larger brush.
-
@Carius : Some details are painted in plain grey The same paint is let to get denser, then used in an oil-like style to get some more or less blended effects And with white from the same range, for drybrushing

Hi Werner, well, I'm surely not the best expert to talk about settings... Anyway : f18, white balance auto, time depending upon object/camera positioning. Led lights box or lamps 6500 k. Thank you all for following. Now, some very subtle spots of Light Ageing here and there to add some punch at the whole

A pink tank but anyway, a real one in it's environment. So, the weathering process is the same of a more "serious" tank. To harmonize colors, an overall coat of the Filter & Wash "light,destauration & fading 1" Then followed by a second coat on plates center and raised edges, for a subtle fading.

Sounds like : "here comes the comment. the rinky dink comment..." 😉
-
Here it is, the tempting picture... I simply could not resist. Well, I'll use it just as an inspiration, since the model was already built with all details in place and no damage. Yes... It's PINK !
-
The remains of the previous mix plus some yellow for the gun ...And maybe you now start wondering what a hell I'm doing...
-
The original, but altered and faded green, is airbrushed in recessed areas. A mix of grey green, buff and some gloss additive to increase transparence.
-
A good day to you all, hope you're in a good shape. Ok, the moment is what it is. So why not a light and witty subject, surely... different from the usual. This old, very old model kit should have served only as a basis for experiments, but thanks to an eccentric picture found on the net... As a start, a light coat of Chromatic Primer.

Experten, experten…

An here you notice the sightly brownish shade added on cast parts, due to different shades of SDW Shading Colors plus the previously shown filter, working together. - p.ex. on the casted commander turret or on driver visor. This is no apologies, but only a call to look at things when they are finished, and not in half
-
As you can see, tracks are no more overwhelming when balanced with dirt. It's one of weathering rules : previous passages shold be a bit exaggerated, as following passages will tone them down.
-
Hi Soeren, no matter if you have questions just do them Crew added, the model is now finished off.
-
A little explanation for whose who did not have tha patience to read : - the tank is painted with minium, which, given the large shape of the object and the "hurried up to the battlefield" state, is not even but somewhat altered here and there. - added plain metal items fresh from casting directly welded in place, with welding "alterations" shown around - and (a thing that was told from the start), this is obviously a what if Finally we can like it or not, or have our personal viewpoint of what is realistic or what is not. Fortunately we are in what I consider an art, and there' plenty of possible finishing interpretations, which makes modeling even more interesting.
-
Thank you all for the contribution. My intent was to depict a factory fresh tank, with just some dirt, as told somewhere into the posts. According to this situation, I represented tracks with a sharp and shiny contrast, knowing that the addition of dirt would tone down them to the desired level. References provided are very beautiful but, sadly… they 70 years and more old tanks. Pictures taken p.e. from Encyclopedia of german tanks show polished-new tracks on tanks as they come out of the factory.
-
To further add depht and personality to colors, Filter & Wash WARM AGEING, thinned in water, was airbrushed overall.
-
Thank you Aurelien. And a good day to everyone. Now that I have finished my move and that of the company, and that I have a little "settled", I can finally conclude this step by step. Thorough the same method previously explained, a bit of dirt is added on tank's front, sides and backplate, with STRUCTURED POWDERS. As already stated, these are not pigments and avail a more defined dirt pattern.
-
Thanks Francis Some more life added blending together some tones of SDW Shading Colors, SDW Shading Metals and SDW Rust on hull, spare tracks, bare metal parts like tank commander turret, cooling fans... To enhance a 3d effect.
-
Cheers 😊 Tracks now fitted and dirted as shown in previous steps
-
😊 Tracks are simply painted with SDW Metal - Gun Metal, then drybrushed with SDW Light Metal. It's an almost new vehicle
