Looks great there Gary. Keep going man!

Are you turning Japanese, yet?

Here it is Gary,

No filters, just a camo scheme over dark yellow base.



with 3 tone camo filter





with a second filter over

Hey jeff, Thanks buddy! OH BTW, Hai watashi wa ima, sukoshi nihonjinda - (yes i'm a little bit japanese now)

Hey John, I really like the Tan for tricamo filter. Think ill try my hand at mixing a batch from my oils. What ya think? Brown, and Yellow Ochre? Brown, white, and yellow? Ill get as close as i can. Thanks John i appreciate it.

Gary

Here's a pic of both filters on a piece of paper



On the left side is the Brown Filter on the right side the TAN filter.
They tend to dissolve pretty quicky on paper, but then again we can add several layers over the kit.

@BBD468 - Gary,

This is turning out to be quit an impressive build. Excellent SBS on how you achieved the multi-colored camouflage scheme. I was seriously thinking on using the toothpaste method to get a similar result on the camouflage scheme on the 72nd scale IJA Type 4 ‘Ne-Nu’. But after seeing your SBS and how well it came out with paintbrushes I may go that way instead, I won’t need to think on that for a while, just hope that the "Force'ola" is with me when I go and attempt it on my tiny model. Any size paint brush in this scale on the kit I’m talking about would be huge!

Nice indeed Mr. Boggs!
Thanks for sharing your technique with us mortals
@ Eddy: I would definitly like to see such a camo in braille scale!


Phil.

Thanks Eddy and Phil! Its great to have my bro's along for the ride.

Got the gloss decals and most of the pin wash done. When the decals dry ill seal them, touchup pin wash and then flat coat.



Thanks for following fellas!

Gary

@BBD468 – Gary,

The camouflage together with the decals looks sharp! You even added the camouflage to the lower hull sides, that is one cool paint job.

What the heck . . . are those a set of colored lamps on the rear hull? Are you trying to turn this into a UFO or what? So tell us, how did you go about painting the lamps to get them to look like real lamps?

@asmodeuss – Philippe,

I think that I’m going to have to use the ‘Force’ to shrink down in size or enlarge the Braille build to get that kind of result on the camouflage scheme but I will give it my best shot!

~ Eddy

Sweet paint job Brother Boggs! Once again youre nailing it spot on. Is this one gonna have lots of weathering?
@ Eddy:
I would love to see what you could do with 1/35 scale....I'm sure it would be a walk in the park compared to braille!

Phil.

hi there..nice job on the cammo...

subarashi des!!

Hey fellas,

Eddy - UFO is what i was goin' for - looks like it worked out! Actually its just Vallejo paint with future gloss over them...thats it! Easy greasy bro!

Phil - Its not gonna have too much weathering in the way of chips and pigments and dirt. This is Kyles kit and im building it to his taste. Were it mine i would take it a little farther.

Zaidi - Thanks for the kind words man!

I have sealed the decals this morning and will flat coat tomorrow. Thanks for looking fellas!

Gary

Gary,

First time checking in here. Beautiful work. Love the hand painted hard edge camo. Washes look great too.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Hello Dave,

Thanks so much for the kind words man!

I have applied flat coat and filters. I force dried with a hair dryer and began messing with some streaking with AK goodies. Still have quite a bit to do so hope fully ill have an update before Thanksgiving when family shows up.



Thanks for looking!

Gary

Hey Gary!! Top notch on the weathering my friend!! She is coming along nicely!!!

Simply OUTSTANDING brother Gary. That is one saweet paint job right there!

As Always Gary.
A superb work from start to finish!
Are those the sweet fruils to go with that hot hoo chi mama?

Phil

Todd, John, Phil - Thanks for the fine words my friends!

Gary

Hello fellas,

I have applied more streaks and some local washes. Im moving to finish the exhaust, tools, and any touchups needed then on to tracks, wheels and weathering the hull sides. Hope to have an update tomorrow before family arrives.



Thanks for looking guys!

Gary

The finish on this tank just keeps on getting better and better!

You really have done a great job with this !

Steven

Scaringly good looking bro!
Since when do you use ak interactive products?

Phil.

Gary that is one sweet build you have there. You can pull off some amazing stuff with even the simplest of kits.

@BBD468 – Gary,

Mace baby, this machine is looking absolutely kick a$$. I like the polished down to the bare metal on the machine gun ball mount, humm . . . not bad at all bro!

~ Eddy

Gentlemen, Thanks so much for the kind words!

Phil, ive only had the AK stuff a short time but i freakin' love'em!! Only have three types but ill definaltely get more as time goes on.

Gary

Sweet can you e-mail me a pic of what you've bought I maybe buy some soon. I was affraid of the quantity but they seem pretty respectable sized pots in your pics.

Over and Out brotha!
