HL-10 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 This Tamiya's old kit built OOB. I used it to try out a different weathering method. After spraying the model all over with Tamiya acrylic dark green, I applied progressively lighter cotes of heavily thinned enamel buff, almost as if they were filters/washes. Once these had dried, I used a broad flat brush, dampened with white spirits, in vertical strokes to streak, blend and remove the thin cotes of buff. I got a result that looks like a dusty tank that's been rained on to give it a streaked, dusty finish. A raw umber oil pin wash deepened details, and a graphite pencil in selected areas, gave a worn finish. upload pictures online screenshot tool gif uploader upload jpg adult photo sharing take a screenshot Thanks for looking 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vally G Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 It's a Churchill-o-rama around here at the moment and yours is a fine addition! Kind regards, Adam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz! Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 thats great looking Churchill' and the weathering is spot on, one question tho' did you apply the buff coats evenly over the entire model or lighter then denser coats on selective areas of the model?, i wouldn't mind trying your technique if you don't mind. regards oz!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Glad you guys like her! Oz, I did apply heavier cotes lower down, near the running gear and at the rear end where I thought more dust would accumulate. By all means have a go yourself, I don't claim any rights to this method at all, I'm sure I read about it somewhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredben Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Very nicely done, Never tried that method of painting before i'll have to give it a go. I use that method for washes but never thought about thinned paint. Your Churchill looks spot on, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
