Silenoz Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) A long time ago I started this one OOB, arrived at the point of weathering, and got some cold feet, so it went to the shelf of doom, waiting patiently till I got some more experience... Nowadays, I don't seem to really get over this point, so it is time to get the cow by the horns and hopefully I don't get thrown over the fence ;-) So this was an OOB build, only thing I allowed myself to alter were the tracks. these were replaced by Modelkasten ones the kit: the parts: painting of the MG and the rest of the tank in basecolors: as it is a winterversion, some white needs to be added: so, this is where I got, and where it begins... It will advance slowly but tips on how to get further from here are much appreciated... Edited November 21, 2016 by Silenoz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
murad Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Silenoz you wouldn't need any tips, doing great already. built the very same kit some time ago and it was a a lot of pleasure. only problem that i had was finding reference shots, which i hadn't came across at the time (and still got nothing significant except couple of pictures on the net which seem to be taken with a dishwasher) so weathering was open season free for all...

Silenoz Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hey, thx. After a long search I came across these: http://www.toadmanstankpictures.com/type_74_camp_iwate.htm http://www.toadmanstankpictures.com/type_74_camp_chitose.htm http://www.toadmanstankpictures.com/type_74_camp_asaka.htm I use these, there isn't much damage, mostly dirt, but I have never done this before. Hence the question Quote Link to post Share on other sites
murad Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 modelling snow is tricky in miniature. if you intend on doing it check out this blog for a good comparison of the available methods and products: https://minionvault.com/2016/11/05/let-it-snow-yes/ as for accumulated snow in roadwheels, cravices and wherenot iirc tamiya has a lipstick kinda snow product which should come in handy as well: http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/87080weathering/ these 2 options are all i am aware of wrt snow. regarding general wx toadmans' pictures are a real good starting point, especially the camp iwate set.
