vytautas 429 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 It turns out great, looks really good. For the result, which I see, are you using only brown wash? Vytautas 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Longbow 6,043 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Looking good there, Dan.... Best part of the build is the dirty bits 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dads203 11,192 Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Cheers guys, yeah the wash is just a Mig Ammo brown wash for German yellow vehicles, works well with OD greens as well Blended with mineral spirts over a satin varnish. Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper dog 5,243 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Got to like the wash, as you say really makes the details pop! As you say, can't fault the decals, wish all could be so reliable! Great to see this come together Dan. Atb 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Good job this vehicle wasn't known as a weasel. But you're right. It's standing out. Nice work with the washes. John. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dads203 11,192 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Cheers for all the likes and great feedback, really appreciated More weathering just building in the wash layers, this time adding a slightly darker brown in certain areas only. all very subtle so I'm not sure the camera will pick this up? It's more like a pin wash than a general wash. A few more details painted up like the scopes and headlights. This is all that has been used so far for the process, some light fuel staining around the rear filler caps. Cheers Dan 13 Link to post Share on other sites
Andy J 5,833 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Well I can definitely see the difference Dan nice work mate 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper dog 5,243 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Liking this a lot Dan, the weathering is really bringing it to life, do like the worn metallic edges and the engine deck staining. Atb Darryl 1 Link to post Share on other sites
diablo rsv 968 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 That's looking really good Dan, all of the washes, staining and paint effects are are building up to give a very effective and realistic finish. Wayne 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Del Boy 127 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Really enjoying the treatment on this Dan, superb staining, wash, build-up technique here, it did before but really looking the biz now. I see you are a MIG fan, always been that way, ever tried Vallejo? Not a un subtle hint just a question!!! Cheers Derek 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dads203 11,192 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Cheers guys once again for the fantastic feedback. So Vallejo, love the paints for brushing, they really nailed the whole acrylic brush painting scene but never tried the weathering products for some reason. I do have a few washes and I use the flesh wash on my all my figure heads. Really great stuff to help map out face details to go over with different tones, and well worth getting. As for the Mig Ammo paint range, I really like it, it a bit thin for brush painting and not quite thin enough to use from the bottle for spraying, if they could cure the tip dry problem that I suffer from then I’d use it for spraying more complicated cam patterns. The weathering range is superb, no issues with any of the products. As you can also see I like to use a few bits from the AK range, similar to Mig Ammo but not as comprehensive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dads203 11,192 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Cheers guys, So next up tonight is how to really make a mess of the model MUD !! So this is just the start of the weathering process. Mig Ammo Dry Steppe mud. Some static grass added for volume and texture. This is just the first step chaps, load of colour changes and blending yet. Once this little mess is dry then a quick blast with some dust coloured paint.

Richard E 1,476 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Now you're starting to bring it to life Dan - and I think you've still got the crew to work some of your magic on as well unless I've missed them? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
edjbartos 693 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Beautiful modelling Dan it's looking a real cracker Ed 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dads203 11,192 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 The mud effects are very raw at the moment chaps, the colour is too stark but will tone down with the next few steps, this first step is just for texture really and to set the scene for the rest of the effects. I hope it’s going to work out as this is a different approach than I normally take - No pressure.. Crew... At some point Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper dog 5,243 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Now that's an idea..., I assume you means the railway modellers static grass stuff? I like where this going, such precision application too, just my forte! Better hurry up with the crew too, hoping for another step by step tutorial! Atb 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dads203 11,192 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Stage 2 & 3 on the weathering. Mix up a dusty colour from Tamiya Flat Earth , Deck Tan and German Grey, blast it over the mud effects. Then hit it with this and blend with thinners Its starting to gain texture and a bit of volume now. more stages left yet to finish off. Enjoy 10 Link to post Share on other sites
