ironwork Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) A first batch of selective filters around details, with a dark metallic tone. Just use a water wet round brush, take a bit of filter with the tip, then turn around raised details and inside panel lines. This is a little trick to add a subtle metallic effect, which helps removing the plastic-toy look from the model.

Kahunaminor Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Interesting work Beppe, I'm normally an aircraft builder but have a couple of tracks on the go as well. I will continue to check in and learn. Thanks for sharing and regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwork Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 @ Kahunaminor : welcome into the tankers cave... Burnt bow apart, i wanted a scarcely worn machine. I just added some light rusty washes with a bit of filter over some flat plates and mudguards. A thin veil of structured filter rebro rust is spread over the water wet surface, to achieve a soft pattern. The actual amount is much less than shown into picture. Just let the part lie flat, until the filter is almost dry, to achieve a regular pattern. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I've only recently had a go at some tanks, however they were in 1/72, but I do rather like the detail on these larger ones and I have to say the work you are doing on this is amazing. I have bookmarked this for future reference. Thank you for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironwork Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks Guys ! The gun sleeve was also thinly washed with rust bubbles And tracks, they too primed in dark brown, randomly airbrushed with two lighter tones of structured filters 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Absolutely stunning work there ironwork! The rust and wear'n'tear effects you are achieving are some of the most realistic I've seen. Beautiful! Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Looking better and better, love the effects on the tracks Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackofalltrades Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Yes those tracks are superb!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwork Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Thanks Guys ! Now it's finally time for dirt. For a thinly dotted, but not overwhelming effect, some "structured powders" are easily sprinkled over the water wet tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwork Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 One sure advantage of these resins, is that when dry, any excess or unwanted pattern can be soflty removed with a brush. For a dry looking earth, the whole is then definitely fixed with thinned matt clear finish, MATT LOCK Then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironwork Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 ...I apologize for being so late (job, job job.....) The last step in weathering was the addition of some grease leak-outs and streaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwork Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 But... a the very last minute, i noticed that crude plastic was visible from cooling grills ! With some forex pieces i arranged a pair of look-like fuel tanks and cooling fans. Just essential shapes, for what is visible in the shadow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I've just caught up with this Beppe, and it's impressive stuff - I love the rust bubbles you used on the gun sleeve The backing for the grilles was a master-stroke too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
