Bullbasket Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 For a first AFV, you've done an excellent job Andy. Obviously your abilities from your car builds have transferred over to this side. I hope that you'll be building more AFVs in the future (Sherman??). John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 15 hours ago, Andy J said: I didn't add a lot of the effects you mention simply because I don't have the experience required to apply them correctly. However in this case it would seem less is more if you see what I mean 🙂👍 Definitely. I'm not saying it's wrong to do lots of chipping and rust on a tank if that floats your boat. It's your model. And a properly realistic model can sometimes look a bit boring, so I don't blame people for choosing a more artistic interpretation. Also, I still use the old dry brushing method - for instance, a darker colour can be used quite successfully to recreate the effect of dirt and dust being rubbed off edges and hatches, to create a used look. I look forward to seeing your next build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's the joy of weathering being able to create as much or as little of an effect as you require 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
