Hello everyone,

Here are some pictures of my work on my ARMO SCUD. After applying various shades of Mig Productions filters and letting it dry, the next weathering stage was pre-moistening the model with AK Interactive White Spirit and then applying AK Interactive Dark Brown Wash. After waiting for about 20 minutes to let the Wash bite, I used White Spirit to tone down the wash. After about two days, I applied Mig Productions' Abteilung Oil Shadow Brown for the shadows and then Windsor & Newton Cadmium Yellow Hue for highlights. For additional weathering, I also used Abteilung Earth Color for some subtle dusting to areas closer to the ground. The wheels received a Vallejo Dark Earth Wash. Here are the results so far:








My next goal is to apply various shades of pigments for additional weathering. That's it for now. Let me know what you think and thanks for looking!

Joseph, well, I like it. If you want suggestions, maybe the tyres could do with something to bring out the tread a little, and also to differentiate the color / dirt of the road contact part relative to the side walls.
But otherwise it seems good to me; the dusting near the ground certainly is subtle, but that's fair enough.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for your feedback. That's exactly my goal with the next stage of weathering. I would like to make the threads more pronounced using pigments. This is still WIP process and it'll be my first time to use pigments, so I hope I can make it look good.

It's looking very good, so far. The pin wash is near perfect. Some mud/dirt should finish it off, nicely.
