Hi Guys!

Today I started with the basecoat of the PT-76. I tried the modulation style and sofar I'm quite pleased with it. Please let me know your thoughts!



Cheers!

Thanks!

I made some better photos to show. I still have my doubts on the two (lighter) rear deckplates, shall I leave it like this? I also noticed there is some light oversprays from the masking tape around the plates. Let me know your thoughts!




Cheers!

I think it looks great Jurgen. Further weathering will tone those areas down but I like the shade differences. Great model!

Thanks guys!

A small update. I added some filters and washes. Do you have cool weathering suggestions? I'm a bit stuck at the moment about what I will do with it...

Let me know!

Wow! The color modulation you’ve achieved looks fantastic and VERY realistic to me. The only suggestions I have to offer are to keep up the good work and I wouldn’t go too heavy with the pastel / powder weathering effects – don’t cover too much of that beautiful paint work!
