ProfSparks Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 Hi All A bit of a process error occurred, and I didn't get a coat of Pledge on before doing the thing with the dark wash... But I didn't realise that until I tried to get it off again. It took some scrubbing, but I decided to use the grime as streaking Lesson learned. It looked ok on the wheels so I left it on, did the rims in MiG Metal Steel, and gave them a quick wash with Tamiya Brown Panel Accent Must admit to warming towards these MiG Ammo paints, they've really put that Black Primer to bed. MUST remember to Pledge BEFORE Flory. Must. Comments and suggestions welcome Cheers Steve 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Yes, otherwise the matt surface acts like a sponge and absorbs it. But you seem to have gotten over that problem because it's looking really good. Nice work. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how you remember these things After the event. Still, think I've got away with it so far... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfSparks Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 Hi All With @Troy Smith and @vytautas in mind about tracks, I gave them a coat of MiG Gun Metal (BIG fan of their paints now ), a light pass over with Tamiya XF-80 Royal Light Grey, then a wash with Brown Panel Line Accent They came out slightly metallic, slightly oxided, and slightly high-manganese steel-ish. To my eye at least... Anyhoo, fitting them was another episode. I'd left the road wheels split, but drive sprocket and return roller were double layered. Some track snapping was involved, but with these single links they went back together without a noticeable join. Tow cables and stowage boxes Exhausts The remaining wheels and machine guns went on no bother, so I poppet her hat on to see how she looked I'll leave her like this while I ponder a light Flory wash to blend in the clean tracks. And also some better photos. Comments and suggestions welcome Cheers Steve 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfSparks Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Hi All Bit of a lag on this one, but I've tried some MiG Turned Earth Mud with Flory Sand wash and it's turned out not too bad. I'll post some in RFI too. Thanks to all who joined along, see you on the nest one! Comments and suggestions welcome Cheers Steve 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblestripe Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 That turned out lovely. What an utterly ridiculous tank the KV-2 was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
