Bertie McBoatface Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I do like your go-faster stripes! That’s going to make the thing a lot more interesting and also easier to ‘read’ than the big sandy mountain effect that I got from overall yellow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo1966 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Looking good Ed and i to like the green sand skirts. George 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Nicely done Ed, similar position with the Sheman myself. As has been said the green will break up the overall sand colour nicely, which has been applied to your usual super high standard too. Aspirational modelling!

edjbartos Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Hi there everyone, a very quick update, I have now started upon weathering my M3. Firstly I applied a satin varnish to the tank and added the decals to the turret, I then did a light pin wash and then varnished again using a matt varnish. I then added some chipping to the edges of the sand skirts front and back. Then mixed some white and a little bit of yellow ochre oil paints, heavily diluted and added some streaks to the sides of the tank and skirts and afterwards applied the mixture to all the rivets. Here are a couple of photo's... Next up is more weathering and detail painting, then onto the tools and rope etc... See you soon Ed 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Now I like that, weathering is nice not over the top. Just enough dust to let you know its done some slogging trough a desert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Looking soooo good Ed, the fading and streaking on the green has worked really well. As has the faded sun bleached sand colour. Great modelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Yes, that's just right for the dust and muck. Will you be adding some oils and greases next? It's interesting to see how people sequence these things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just done basic weathering at the moment, once I get everything added like the baggage, tools etc then I'll go and finalise the weathering and blend everything together, then add oils and stains etc all the best to you both Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you soon Ed Hey Ed Up to here very nice model-Miniart was once again conquered by you 💪 The colour contrast on the side skirts is top and helps the dusting even more 👍 It's always a bit difficult on light models with a desert theme.

MD Thanks for your kind comments MD, I like the skirts being a green colour as I think it adds a little bit of visual interest being a different colour in what is a predominately a sand scheme...

(T34) (And the first to suggest the skip...) Or better still, how the flip did I do that? Whatever it was I'll bet I won't be able to do it again!
