fpmeyer Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 The Soviet M1931 was a 203 mm howitzer, firing a 98.5 kg (217 lb) grenade and was a particularly effective weapon when used against fixed targets, such as large buildings used by Germans as defensive positions. Efficient weapon from the Russian arsenal for the type of urban combat, from Stalingrad to Berlin. It is not the model's diorama. I put it here just to show that the model in a scenario, improves more realism .... This kit is from Alan on the 1/35 scale. It was painted in Russian Army Green with acrylics and finished in the usual way, with oils and enamel for Whashing, Drybrushing, Rust .... pigments mixed with sieved sand, were applied to the lower parts of the model to simulate the accumulation of mud and splashes of soil. We must be generous in the application, so as not to overload it too much ... Thanks for watching! Fábio. 31 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confess that adding fine sand to earth pigments was not a good idea. In the photo the grain of sand appears very large. Mix with stucco, I believe it would be better. Stay safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Using talcum powder to matt paint used to be common advice: perhaps increasing the proportion of talc would give an effect more like what you were looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Graham! Good idea. I can even fumble a little with the talcum powder, but for sure, it will make the model very fragrant ..... Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
