BlackMax12 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I'll call this complet also. Next time I'll start with a darker green as I tried a Tamiya Dark Brown Panel Liner wash and that didn't tone it down much. Spent most of the day yesterday cleaning it up with thinner and still too bright. Lesson learned. (I hope) 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Thats a real beast of a truck! Lovely finish and weathering despite you thinking the green is a bit too bright. Regards, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Thanks Steve I'm not completely happy with it but it will have to do. I hate monochrome paint jobs. That T-72A and my new T-80 will have multi-color camo, easier to work with. Lloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Nice work Lloyd. I agree with you. I sometimes think that a monochrome paint scheme is harder than a multi colour one. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Bad_Bill Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 You say the green is too bright but I have seen pictures of Russian kit that colour so don't be so hard on yourself. It's a lovely build and, as others have said, I like the subtle weathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandit1250 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Well I like it! Great model and finish. I often think the pursuit of exact colour matches leaves models far too dark - After a few examples of trying to achieve an accurate SSC15 finish I'm now a great believer in the 'scale effect' when it comes to painting at 1/35 and smaller scales. I take the view "if it looks ok - it is" and tend not to worry about exact shades any more. This is a hobby after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Thanks Bandit It's easy to get carried away with colors but you are right, if it looks ok then it is fine. Anyway I consider this done so I guess it is ok, lol. Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
