ironwork Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hi all Sirs, here my latest cat in progress. An old 1/35 Dragon reference built from the box, so let's go straight to painting. At first, a dark priming to all inner wheels side and hull spots 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwork Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Wheel hidden sides are now painted with a thin layer of minium Now the whole wheel assembly is turned turtle, and the outer sides are primed with Chromatic Primer, together with hull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Nice kit and interesting painting approach. I'm curious to see what you make of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwork Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Thank you Soeren Now a very light coat of some different mixes of minium. And metal on some smaller parts. This model should represent a what if panther, hurried up to the battlefield directly from the building plant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwork Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Now it's time to differentiate some areas, applying different methods : - directly covering the base paint of engine plate, mufflers… with thin coats of altered tones. - altering some spots thorugh a wet on dry blending of other tones over the base paint - blending wet on wet different tones Therefore, the same paint used for painting, takes place of oils into the weathering process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.ex. because they're really water-only paints, or because they're also blendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soeren Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I had a look at the website and tutorial videos. That paint looks promising. I only fear to start another brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwork Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Thank you Guys @ Simon : oh….what a surprise… 😁 Subtle streaks added on sloped sides. Somewhat like the oil-dot technique, but on smaller areas, because although these paints dry slower than acrylics, they are faster than oils. For the blending I used a water-wet brush, this way the gradations have a sharper streaked effect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwork Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 More blending for a graded effect is also added to the large soldered areas of hull and turret. An here we are now 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironwork Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 To counterbalance somewhat the overall warm tones of the model, pinwashes with a cold tone. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironwork Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thank you Guys Spreading some earth dirt with Structured Powders. These are not pigments, and easier to use. Just dampen the surface with water, take some product with a brush and leave it to fall like snow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Very nice. I like your style of doing things. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Great dust & mud weathering. Please, in which pigments and Structured Powders differ, because in the photos, although good, you can not see anything that indicates it. Cheers mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwork Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 @FrancisGL : Structured Powders are purposely formulated resins, and not a milled mineral as pigments are. They are larger particles compared to pigments, easier to build up with a small amount. The colors you spread will have the same hue when dry (while pigments change color when they dry). But the most prominent features are that they don't need chalk powder, nor solvents. Just water. Once dry you can remove them partially or totally to adjust the amount or to achieve softer transitions. Then you fix them with their fixer. Alternative method : you directly mix them with their fixer and splotch them on to the surface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwork Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 The whole is fixed airbrushing some well diluted Fix & Wet, contained into the Set, spreading more by brush in some spots for a wet effect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironwork Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 😊 Tracks are simply painted with SDW Metal - Gun Metal, then drybrushed with SDW Light Metal. It's an almost new vehicle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
