Hi mates! hows The campaign going for you guys?
Well, iam leaving tonight for 12 days so dont go around missing me to much i know il be missing The big A.
So heres what ive done since last time. With your comments and tips, i gave it some rust, mud, got the extra tracks on, gave it a little better of a wash. And a few days ago i realized i had overdone my rust and i could use a little paint so i grabbed my airbrush mixed tamiya desert yellow and brown, thinned it well, and airbrushed it one from a distance and iam pleased to say the tank now satisfies me( this is quit unusual as iam very perfectionate) so here it is: enjoy! the tank is about to be called finish, yet iam still wondering if i could give it a very light coat of brown light brown were the brown is to give it a shade and a kinda dirtier look, how could that turn out?

Now heres the roof of the building so far, iam using cardboard from model boxes to simulate tiles, ive got them on differently to giveit a worn out look.

Here are the two americans that will ambush the jagdpanther

And iam trying to find a place for this guy

Hope you enjoyed and the kit looks better than last time
and sorry for the blurry pics, i was kind of in a hurry to get them done

Bye folks!
Frank

How about this?



Looking good. How about trying some tonal variation in the finish. Usually this is done with the AB, but it can also be done with a type of drybrushing. Take your base color, add a tiny bit of dark brown. Then take an old smushed paint brush, and with it almost completly dry scrub the juction of angles and panels, go easy it doesnt take much. In reality it is reverse drybrushing as you are using dark colors to do edges not lighter colors.


Cheers!
