Well, the paint is applied. No just to finish the rest of the build, wash and weather.
Now much to say atm. But i really need your input.
thanks ,
Marc
And btw, the armored sides will be down when completed.

Hello there is a nice vehicle youre building. Just something to notice on the camo scheme. To my eyes look a lill stiff or rough i could say and also the outer edge of the colour lines seem to have some spots splitted by the airbrush , (i mean there is not softe ending of the lines) i also believe that there is a discontinuity of the camo lines, meaning that they seem a lil independent side by side of the vehicle..but its just my point of view. Waiting to see the finished stuff

Thanks for the reply Major goose. You have confirmed my fears.
I think i am going to redo it, and just keep it dark yellow.
Currently for an AB I have a Badger 350, which is a few years old. Couple that with no aircompressor, and the work can be alittle sloppy.
I am going to order a paasche air brush. Double action and all.
And i already have permission from the "boss" to get a Compressor.



More updates coming soon to annoy you all. #:-)

Well, i cleaned my airbrush really good. Then i reshot the model with the base dark yellow.
I will wait to do a camo job, on a different model of course.
About a week or 2 my new AB and comp will be here.

Hey Petro. Pity I hadn´t checked this thread earlier, I would have advised you keep this camo job. After washes, drybrushing and filters most of this overspray would have dissappeared. My bergetiger´s camo was shot with a cheap brush also, and had alot of overspray. Now its almost invisable.
Please check out James Blackwells article on missing links called "Painting Panzers" The Post-Shading Way. An Alternative Approach to Finishing AFV Models.
See what he started off with, and what he ended up with.
Camo schemes like this were field applied and would have been much rougher. When I saw the camo first, I thought it was pretty good, and with filters etc. would have made a nice start.
Hopefully this weekend I will have pictures of my bergetiger completed and will post a before and after camo, so you can see this would have been OK.
One other advice is, when spraying a tank with tracks alread in place, start with a very dark brown over the whole tracks, lower tank and running gear. Then a little hint of base colour and camo, on the easier to reach parts and wheels will do. Nothing worse in seeing a beautifully weathered running gear with big patches underneath, or inside wheels, that are clean base colour. This is something I learned using a similar airbrush.
Good luck with your mobelwagen.

the camo looks great..
i alos like how u camoed the road wheels also,
cant waite 2 see it done

Hey, I think the wash would have covered up the spatter on the camo. I like to practice my camo on a sheet of paper before I spray the model. It helps to kind of "warm-up" prior to actually painting it. Military camouflage is done to break up the outline of equipment and blend it into a background. The colors are applied to lighten areas that are dark, and darken areas that are light. Also, I like your web site. Steve

When i was first shooting it, i almost kept it with just the green. But after the brown, i was a little dissatisfied. This is my first , heavily detailed (etch) AFV, so i want it to look decent.
I also like the way the base yellow looks. Hopefully i can do a decent job on weathering.
I do haev some pics of it repainted in my gallery. The paint is also alittle wet still in the photos.

Another problem i had while spraying this, was the area i was doing it in has poor lighting. Another week and that will all change.

My Hummel for the artillery campaign will have some camo.

Plasticbattle i would of probably resprayed ir if you did catch this thread earlier.

Pertro. All is not lost with your camo scheme. This can be fixed. When I airbrush my camo, I always use an old, junk model to practice on. Use an old kit you will never finish, or pick out some cheapo-depot kit and toss it together. Practicing will help. Lets face it camo is fun !!

I think with careful washes, highlighting, and weathering your Mobelwagen will shine :-)

Cheers !
