JB2013 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Great job on the tank. Good work :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Buck Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Very nice first armor build! :D Thanks a pretty complex scheme on a very complex tank (lots of ERA) making for challenging airbrushing, looks great to me... Keep up the good work! Quick question for you... Did you use a soft mask for the demarcation lines? Again great build! Ahui hou :P Mark (a former tread-head) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Looks very good, especially for the first one... I'd just weather the Guards badge on the front, cause it looks too clean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Master Zen Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Amazing how you can never tell it's just 1/72 with those Revell kits (I have a few to build in the next couple of months). Great work! I hope my first one ends up half as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chef blades Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Sweet finish! used to build that scale 15yrs ago and none turned out that well. Keep it up! :wub: Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vivkulan Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Do you guys know what I might need to make the tracks rusty and dirty? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) the best way to muck up the tracks is to spray on several thin coats of different browns and blacks. then give them a raw umber wash. You can also follow this up with some pigment or chalk dusting applied with thinner. here is what the results might look like This is just a highly thinned coat of sand, misted onto the lower sections of the model. It works well for 1/72 here are several shades of dark earth (mixed with other browns and grays) this is with mist coats/umber wash/ and pigments. The trick is to let the colors build up slowly, and never fully cover the paint below them. Also make sure the color is never too uniform, or it'll look like brown paint....nevermind that that is what it is. Edited November 26, 2008 by RKic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Impressive looking tank in that winter camo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Very nice work for a 1:72 build. It is a tough kit to do with all the ERA blocks. :blink: MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
