Faun SLT 50-3 Elefant

Here's my first completed model, having probably bitten off more than I could chew, there's definitely a few things that aren't right but onwards and upwards. Feedback much appreciated!

Hopefully that's sorted, I could see them on my screen so not entirely sure what's happened there. 

[Badder]

Yep, sorted. I can see it now.

That was certainly not 'starting out on the easy stuff!' Not bad though. Not everyone would go for heavy mud and weathering on their first attempt, so hats off to you for that. The mud is pretty good. It's certainly been through some sludge.

I'm not one for smaller scales, far too fiddly for my nerve damaged fingers.

Have you thought about 1/35th scale? They are a bit more accomodating when it comes to getting the weathering looking realistic, using washes, dry-brushing, etc and also for making different textures, like gritty mud, and patches of rust etc.

 

Reargaurds,

Thanks Badder, I've got a 1/35th on the bench at the minute and it's a lot easier!

Looks good.

 

Advice would be to look up different techniques on YouTube etc and have a crack at it yourself.

 

As you said, onward and upwards..
