Ernst Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I like the way you've broken up the paint. Great details, tools, exhaust, lovely model. Cheers, Ernst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Brilliant job. What made you change the tracks? I thought Tamiya's link and length ones were pretty good? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Tamiya's link and length ones were pretty good? They're fine for what they are, but I really enjoy metal tracks. Plus, with the way this model is engineered, it's just about impossible to get the tracks on once the fenders are in place unless you keep them in multiple parts (and then you're trying to assemble and glue painted & weathered tracks on a painted & weathered tank). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Excellent Valentine, superb paint and weathering, particularly like the worn patina on the paintwork. Cheers Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
President Trff Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Lovely job, love the way you have created a worn effect. How did you do that? Best John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Fantastic job on the finish & weathering. The tools look like they've just come from B & Q & have been shrunk! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best John Thanks mate! It’s essentially the hairspray technique used for chipping, only in this case it isn’t representing chipped paint in the normal sense, but instead it’s meant to simulate worn and distressed paint.

President Trff Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I just watched a YouTube video by Night Shift showing a similar effect on 1/72 T-90. I'm going to have to try that. J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nheather Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 It all looks fantastic, but I'll single out one tiny part, that spade looks amazing. It is not often that tools look convincing on models but these certainly do. Cheers, Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fun technique that gives such an interesting result and it especially helps with things painted in a single color by making it way more interesting.
