Redcoat2966 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 That's a tidy little number.....nice camo'. I take it that done with a commercial mask....nicely done. I have one of these and might try a dot mask from a supplier. Love the figure too.....nice bit of painting that. Smooth shading on the jacket....nice. Cheers Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Excellent work! At the risk of repeating what's been said, really great work on the paint and weathering the figure is really well painted too btw! Thanks for posting Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron NL-S Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Woah! This one is unreal! That pattern.... and the mud... the details.... Superb! Just 2 things.... the rubber on the spare wheel? And the inside of the barrel? They seem to have been forgotten? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Some great detail on both AFV & figure. I bet you needed a lie down after doing that colour scheme. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't as convenient as buying a pre-cut masking set, but the cutting tool is very easy to use. I cut over a thousand dots in just a few hours. 9 hours ago, Ron NL-S said: Woah! This one is unreal!

Regarding your questions. The spare wheel is an all-steel type. It is unused, so I left painted in dark yellow paint. The barrel you see is just the outer armoured sleeve, while the actual barrel sit further inside. I painted this part dark yellow and gave it some dark soot. I could have probably painted it in a darker color. Thank you all for your comments and 'Like'. Nanond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 That is indeed a lovely piece of work. I’m impressed with how you’ve managed to ‘tone’ down or ‘diffuse’ the camo so it doesn’t overpower the the whole thing. I very much like the figure too.

Can you or anyone else tell me why this was done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you or anyone else tell me why this was done? I think it was not the right term that I used. The armoured sleeve/jacket is part of the ball mantlet, What I meant to say was that the rifled part of the barrel ends before the muzzle end. From from photos taken in the assembly line, the unrifled part appeared to be left unpainted. This was more difficult to verify on combat vehicles. I chose to paint mine in dark yellow though.
