Ergarion Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 First of all, since I am new here, thank you for letting me to join you This is one of the few kits I´ ve made so far. To be honest, I am pretty green and I´ ve made some kind of mistake while applying the lacquer coat and i thought to myself: well, at least I can finally try to make worn out winter camo. I will be grateful for your input and critique. Thank you guys Before the accident: Winter camo: Work still in progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJ Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 That looks pretty good. Check out some photos of the real thing; there's one of a snow camouflaged Churchill Crocodile that's in several publications. If it was my model, I would make the whitewash a little thicker, particularly on the turret sides, and I would give the suspension and hull sides a good coating of mud - definitely no whitewash on the roadwheels.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) I agree about dirtying up the roadwheels a lot, but personally I reckon your worn & patchy finish is close to spot on as it is. Try adding some streaking to the vertical faces and use pinwashes to make your details pop (remember to give your model a clear-coat before you break out any oils).....You should find plenty of tutorials for both techniques online. Gotta say that's a really promising start.....Take your time and enjoy doing it. Edited October 30, 2013 by Sgt.Squarehead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergarion Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Thank you guys. I´ll add more photos soon. To be honest, I am just trying to reproduce techniques I´ve seen on Mig Jimineze´s Winter weathering tutorial. So, thanks again for your support.

DavidJ Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 There's a nice 1/35 model of a snow camouflaged Churchill Crocodile on Armorama: http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=180998&page=1 It's quite similar in appearance to the Crocodiles on page 24 of David Fletcher's Concord 'British Tanks of WWII: (2) Holland and Germany'. Interestingly, the roadwheels seem to have retained a decent coat of whitewash. The main thing is that you're having fun while experimenting with new techniques Cheers David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
