Challenger I

[Terry1954]

Looking really good Stuart. My mini AFV's will need some similar subtle weathering,  and also I was planning to use the larger AMX-13 as a learning platform for some weathering techniques. Uncharted ground on that one.

My reasoning was that they would have relatively new and well maintained and although you could 'muddy' them up, no rust, etc should be evident. I'm sure that the weathering will get 'spiced' up as we build more WW2 machines.

So are you using spices to weather this instead of oils

Better move my butt on this...

 

The Challenger has been completed for a while with the exception of fitting aerials and weathering. Base has been made up from insulation board, filler for the slightly raised banks. Various sized rocks and fine sand was used overall, rocks being located at verges and down centre of track. Everything was then painted a dark brown and dry brushed with a sand colour.

Hi Guys,

Lots of firsts with the dio work. Metal armature tree, scratch fence, etc. Tried 'Krycell Precision Ice and Snow', worked quite well but needs improving. Finished off with a Wee Friends tank figure and done my best in painting a camo jacket.

 

 

Thanks for looking.

Stuart - That is superb.  Hugely impressive - always hard to pull a snow scene off.

Cheers Rob, it took long enough for me to get there.
