Archer. The twelfth day.

Most of the time the work was given to fading. First used 4 colors oil 502 Abteilung (Abt. 001, Abt. 080, Abt. 130, Abt. 160), giving the oil a little dry, streaks made ​​using fluids AK Interactive (Rainmarks for NATO tanks - AK 074, Dark streaking grime - AK 024).

Just imitated rust on the exhaust pipe and the pipe leading to it. Technology is those - originally painted in the color of rust and put on top of a layer of wash AK Interactive (Wash Dark brown - AK 045), giving wash soak in, started pigments, alternately using pigments Wilder (GP 12, GP 13, GP 16). The same is done with a spare truck.

Archer. Day thirteen.

Today, the whole day spent on wash. Did it, as I like - contrast. In work used wash from AK Interactive (Wash Dark brown - AK 045, Wash For German vehicles in Dark Yellow - AK 300). I really love this wash!

Tomorrow I plan to make chips, they will give the model "volume" and life.

Archer. The fourteenth day.

As mentioned yesterday - the day was devoted to the creation of chips. Everything is as usual - sponge and brush. In work used the paint AK Interactive (Chipping Color - AK 711). After adding a few rusty stains (Rust Streaks - AK 013). Looking closer, I decided that something bad is seen where a wash so on horizontal surfaces walked again (Wash For German vehicles in Dark Yellow - AK 300).








Well, Last pictures - as you know, I'm still forced to take pictures with the phone camera, which causes poor-quality color reproduction. Photo on a homogeneous background - with 3 light sources, no background - more or less if the color in the image of reality.

Archer. Fifteenth day.

Wordy today I do not want to be. Overall - took another dark streaks on inclined surfaces, struck matt varnish, finalized pigments.
Something like that.

Archer. Sixteenth day.

Day was devoted to dirt. More precisely the initial work with her.
First took up the body. Plaster mixing with AK Interactive and randomly made ​​dirt on the body.
Next set rollers and began to dirty them. Mixing gypsum, ground and sifted little XF-52 with a spatula selectively made ​​it on rollers, then passed AK 078, feather on his bandages.







So tomorrow will continue work on the dirt.

Archer. Seventeenth day. Penultimate.

Almost completed the dirt, only a little modified. With the aid of a hammer, glue and what that mother put trucks, hating Bronco.







Tomorrow - day improvements. Finish trucks, dirt, pipe, spare truck and some trifles.

P.S. On 3 photo caught his true color.

Archer. Eighteenth day. Most likely, the latter.

So finalized dirt, added a bit of gloss on it, that would give the effect of wet mud. Reduced sag tracks on the advice on panzer35. So something like this. The final photo session will be only on Monday. Therefore, there is still time to modify something that did not catch my eye.









P.S. I recall a photo on the phone.

I think he's asking if those are indy-link tracks or rubber band style.

Amazing work Dmitrii. Was all the PE included or did you use some aftermarket?

Oh, it was splicers work trucks, as magic truck from DML!

Thank you, Christopher! PE was included in this kit, Nobody makes etching on Archer.
By the way I did not like to work with the etching of the Bronco. It is brittle, often designated places fold.

I've heard that before. I thought the PE looked pretty comprehensive so I wasn't sure.
