SimonL Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 A quick build of the Tamiya 1:48 British 7 ton Armoured Car Mk IV (which I gather is actually a Humber). Brush painted with home brewed Tamiya Acrylic mix for SCC15. Finished with the markings out of the box for a vehicle from the Polish 1st Armoured Division in NW Europe, 1944-45. My first attempt to weather with oils. Very enjoyable, stress free build (except for the wing mirror I kept knocking off). Build thread here. Thanks for looking. Some photos out in the sunshine. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Nice job on the weathering with oils Simon. The next thing that you could try is a pin wash. Just mix some black and raw umber 50/50 with some thinners (you don't want it as weak as you would for a wash), and apply it around raised objects such as the pioneer tools, and into recesses. It's surprising how much that makes detail pop out. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing I will need something like this for panel lines on aircraft. 10 hours ago, Kris B said: Nice one. I like the base colour. Thank you - I just followed the Mike Starmer mix for SCC15 that I found somewhere on Britmodeller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
