Hey i would make this kind of british camo on the mother beautifull sherman tank! I have never tried to make camo with an airbrush before so this will be my first time! Eh i am planing on using tamiya colurs for it! The colours i got is desert yellow but i am not very satisfied with that colur and i got the black! But how do you achieve that dusty and worned effect it got!

here is what i am talking about!



I dont know who have the model but he knows what he is doing!

What i'll do to create a worn dusty effect is to just give the model a light overspray(filter) of 'dust' colours.

I use Tamiya's Buff for the job.

Thin the paint 70:30 (Water/Thinner:Paint), reduce air pressure to about 10-15 PSI, hold the airbrush a fair distance away and give the model a few light coats until you're satisfied.

Again, that is how i would do that and i'm pretty satisfied with this method.

Okay thanks eh PSI! What stands that for! Tamiya buff! Is that also in Humbrol! But thanks again!

usefull tip
thanx

Hi guys,

Sorry i made a typo mistake up there, I meant to say water/thinner : paint ratio is 70:30 instead of 30:70... that would be too thick..

I've changed the error in my post anyway.

Honestly, i have no idea what PSI stands for. It is used to measure the amount of air pressure coming out from your compressor to the airbrush. Normally, the gauge that measures the pressure can be found fixed on the compressor though there are also external ones.

Just adjust the gauge accordingly.

Sorry i can't help you on the Humbrol paint. I'm sure others can.

Daniel,

PSI stands for 'pounds per square inch'. It is the air pressure setting on your airbrush/compressor. Not all set ups will have adjustable pressure though...

Don't you hate it when you post an answer at the exact same time as someone else?!

Okay thanks guys! It realy is help! i absolutely love this site! Thanks!

Dusty effect can also be acheived using pastel chalk. The worn effect can ba achived through weathering...
