tehSAC Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Found this kit at a garage sale over the summer and thought I'd give it a shot. Started with a base of Tamiya Red Primer, then a quick pass with German Grey. On top of the hairspray, I used AK paint, and then started chipping. Considering this is my first time chipping anything, I think it turned out pretty well. Next up are decals, detail painting, pin wash, and weathering. I really am enjoying this. I don't want to put it down honestly. Let me know your thoughts for a first time armor builder. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef N. Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 What the other two said. And a special mention to the deeper chipping/scuffing between turret and hull. Nicely handled.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 It's looking really good, although just one tiny thing to say. I would have added the decals before going on to the chipping stage, as the markings of the tank would chip at the same time as the paint work. John.

Redcoat2966 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Looking good, and the chipping too. The hairspray technique I am yet to try. I hand paint at present my chipping and scratch's, but intend to give it a go on a winter white wash effect. Looking good so far and will watch on progress.....

When I first did it I was worried I chipped it too deep. 4 hours ago, Bullbasket said: It's looking really good, although just one tiny thing to say.

Suggestions on how to possibly add that little detail in now? 1 hour ago, Redcoat2966 said: Looking good, and the chipping too. The hairspray technique I am yet to try.

As I said this was the first time I had ever done any form of chipping. I found that this would be the best route for me. It took maybe an hour to hip the hull and turret. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 A bit of gentle sandpaper/scratching action on the decals,once they're dry,may be in order. Then handbrush some grey to help them blend. Take it easy and have some spare decals handy just in case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need to grab some extra decals first thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
