Churchill Never Looked So Good
|
Finishing Up |
I used a mixture of sand yellow and earth-coloured
powder. The advantage of MIG’s product should be that the powder does not
stick to the surface as heavy as pastels do. This is true, but you need a
lot of experience and it takes much wiping and rubbing to get the desired
result. I definitely need some more sessions to get familiar with this
method of adding dust. Maybe a dark kit is not the best choice to start
with…
The dirt was made from earth, sand, static grass and Revell airbrush paints
( earth, grey ) which then was added with a brush.
Scratches and worn off paint was simulated with a pencil and Humbrol No 53,
but on the dark model the effect did not come out as expected.
I am a bit discontent with the colour of the tracks but had no time to
correct it yet.
