85sqn Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi folks heres another of my little forays into 1/48 armour. Tamiyas crusader, painted with Tamiya, weathered with oil paints and Mig products. Base was made out of a shelf, varnished and then flocked with two types of modelling sand. The sand is probably a little overscale but I thought the Tank needs something to sit on! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Moore Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Beautiful finish. I really like the subtlety of the weathering, especially on the side skirts. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noeyedears Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Really looks the part! Did you seal the oils an pigments on with a flat coat or anything. I am Always looking for tips on producing such a great finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnthedude Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Fantastic Crusader. I don't think the sand is out of scale, it looks like a gravelly field with a few rocks in. Superb. Finnthedude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

85sqn Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Really looks the part! Did you seal the oils an pigments on with a flat coat or anything. I am Always looking for tips on producing such a great finish. I did indeed, some of the pigments on the tracks for example, were stuck with a bit of matt varnish in the mix. However some of thr pigments were dusted on without having been varnished but only a light dusting. Thanks for you kind comments folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
