Hi friends:
Here are my Tiger finished!
PAINTING PROCEDURE:
Before beginning to use the aerograph, it is recommended to make tests in a piece of cardboard or heavy paper until seeing the thin and firm lines and being sure that are ok!. In the aerograph I apply 70% of alcohol and 30% of XF-60/dark-yellow in all the tank including the center of the wheels in which I previously applied a mask with Mr. Masking Sun of Gunze Sangyo in the borders that were already black, I used thin brush since broaches-applicator of humbrol is very heavy, then, applied one second layer of the XF-60/dark-yellow until being sure that the model does not have any corner without painting. On the following day I painted camouflaged with 70% of isopropílico alcohol and 30% of XF-24/dark green, after this I decided to follow recommendations to leave in rest the model during 48 hours before coming to the following phase.
SHADES:
I applied 75% alcohol I. and 25% XF-52 / flat-earth with the minimum of pressure in the aerograph, then I started the application in several angles of the model, around the hatchways, in the surface of the gun-barrel, the corners of the aprons of the tank, side-protections and hatchways of soiled slight turret obtaining a very interesting effect.
LIGHTS:
I applied 60% of alcohol I. + 30% of XF-60/dark-yellow and 10% of the XF-4/yellow-green aerographing the superior part of the hatchways, the center of the panels, the turret, the mudguards, mantelet and side-protections.
WASHINGS:
I used a wide flat brush to apply oil natural shades with a generous amount of turpentine spirit bidistilled from the end of the turn of the aprons until crossing the model, hatchways, nuts, panels, turret, etc., and I used another clean wide flat brush with little turpentine spirit B. to clear the excess of washing in the rest of the tank and to obtain the suitable aging without exceeding the oil nor the turpentine spirit because it may be damaged.
PASTELS:
I mixed the dust of the colors brown and black to be able to give them a special effect to the model applying it in the side of the hatchways, panels, turret, nuts, etc., and then another oil touch to remark the line of the turret next to the gun-barrel.
DRY BRUSH:
A traditional touch of dry brush could not be out although on these days very few people use it. I used the No.103/matt cream of Humbrol with a wide brush soaking and putting it on a cloth until it paints on cardboard or heavy paper like a test, then applies carving to all the tank and then what happens? Oh, surprise, it begins to emphasize the screws, lines, handles, etc., by magic art giving it a real effect, this remains me when I placed a white leaf underneath a coin and when carving with a pencil it appeared the Mexican National Eagle, exactly this is what happens with the model. The final touch, with a pencil No.1 you pass it over the end of the gun-barrel, machine gun, shovels, cables, hammers and other tools and it offers a very real steel effect, finally I painted handles of the shovels, hammers and other tools carefully with No.34/matt-white of Humbrol and color No.62/matt-leather of Humbrol and offer a very real worn aspect.
DECALS:
In this case, I carefully cut with a cutter the borders of each number to avoid stick transparent-transfer of plastic that accompanies each number or sign, then, just from the water to the turret, with a drop of water in the turret is sufficient to handle the number although it is necessary to have skill and patience, I followed with slight touches of oil in each number but it is necessary to make it faster and steady to avoid been removed, then with a clean brush take out the excees of the oil and it will be ready!
FINISHED:
To finish and to avoid dust damages it, we needed to protect our model applying Tru-Film in spray (plastic lacquer matte).
The End. I hope you like my procedure, thank you very much for your attention!
Regards,
Rodolfo
