ive been modeling for quite a few years. however, this is my first real try doing a filter. to me, i think i may have applied too much of a light filter. for the filter, i initially did a very light tan. using this light tan, in my opinion, it looks too light. obviously, in a very dusty region, it would probably look ok. what you see is after i applied a couple burnt sienna filters on top of the light tan...
what do you all think? too light? if so, how would i correct?

now, keep in mind, i had only started applying the dot method streaks. i still have alot of work on thosee still. not to mention pastels, chipping, and dry brushing. i havent even started on any of that yet. i want to make sure i get the filter correct before going too far.
you will also see quite a few flaws when it comes to the gaps in the seams, some parts didnt fit quite right. but they are going to be hidden with stowage and i also plan on doing camo netting over the frontal portion of the crew area. this, may also help take some attention off of the light filter

i also appologize for the pics, they were taken with my phone to i could upload them while im at work. i will upload better ones later

Sorry, I just can't tell with the current photos.

i figured that would be the case. ill post some in about an hr or so

adding more photos---a couple with flash

well, been doing alot of work on this one to try to get it done. ive gotten the paint to look like its been well worn. which, is what ive been aiming for. worn, but not beat up.
i still have quite a bit of work to do still. will be adding camo netting over the forward of the crew compartment, stowage, and weathering of the wheels.
also, im gonna try to change some of the mud up in the wheel area. probably add a layer or two of lighter shades.

I'm assuming you have more work to do on the lower hul, but the rest of it looks good so far.

i still ahve to weather up the running wheels and im going to be changing the weathering of the lower hull body. either by alot of scrubbing, lighter color over spray/wash, or just more variations of pigments to break up the single color a little bit

hey jesse. i am my own worst critic and it looks like the same is true with you. the hummel looks great, i am looking forward to seeing the finished product.

little bit more progress. there is a couple figures for this hummel that i have to do still. but for them to be "useful", a small dio would be needed. so, eventually, i will do one. also, you will notice the range stakes arent in place. that is one of the little things i have to do still. ive been contemplating having a soldier outside of the vehicle holding it up right as he is speaking with the commander that is inside the vehicle...waiting on some jerry cans to come in as well. will be placing those inside the cockpit as well as a rolled tarp...but again, if i do a dio, ill be placing other things outside....

be wary that the netting doesn't extend down to the track level. Obviously while moving, the tracks would easily 'catch' the netting and pull the whole thing apart along with whatever it's draped over.

Otherwise, looks nice!

that im aware of. thanks for the input though. netting is typically draped over artillary pieces when they are in parked positions to help break up their silhouette and hide from aierial view.. and that is the aim i was taking with this one. the crew is hopefully going to help show that they are going to be there for a length of stay. on the move, they would have rolled it up and draped the roll into the cabin area.
i didnt find a whole lot of reference photos as far as vehicles camoflauged, so i had to use a little artistic license and use what ive known from my days of the modern military and the netting we had.

Hi Jesse ...Nice job so far but is it me or did you forget the hub caps on the road wheels?

you know what, i didnt even notice. glad you said something. however, im not even sure if the kit had them. ill have to look at the sprues

try using some graphite along the top of the fighting compartment and maybe along the edges of the upper hull. Throw a little rust on the roadwheels and tracks. I would have called this finished at half of the detail you are putting into it. A great build.
