Ardennes Advance - A lesson in detail


After all this through on some Umber Oil-paint washes and follow with a dry brushing.

This method is so variable and subject to the creative expression at the time. No one application will be the same. Have fun, after all that is what it's all about.

Please Note:
In some of the photos you can see that some of the rubber hasn't been removed. When you splatter the liquid mask onto the model by pulling your thumb across the toothbrush you have to get in there and scrub those little nodules away revealing the primer or rust beneath.

This thread is 4 years old, so I think that there is little hope of seeing more of it. I too first came to Armorama with this link when it was brand new. Stupidly I never really joined Armorama until recently.

Funny, that the diorama itself is not shown?

Exactly. The pictures were never sent in. I'm not sure if they are available anywhere in the internet. I put in quite some time once trying to find them but to no avail.

I love the rust effect on the tail pipes. I have tried this effect with white putty mixed with acetone with varied results. Very realistic effect .
