It has been said that I am terribly immature for my years!

Windows pre-shaded by airbrush.



Tinted green.

[Mr. Peabody]

Are you mixing that lovely eggshell green with the Tamiya X-23 clear blue?

I think I'd like to file this all in my wee book!

Initial intent was to glaze the black/white highlight with the tamiya clear, but I messed it up, so I reverted to an airbrushed tint instead. The camouflage colours have a bluish tone so at the last minute I thought a green tint would be better than more blue.

Excellent reasoning. The contrast will suit them great.

I couldn't resist taking the mask off a couple of vehicles after I'd sprayed the rough camouflage.

Cool! 

[Andym]

Great collection! I love that green colour!

[Brandlin]

Thanks guys..


  painting 48 tyres black really is a soul destroying activity.

Anyway thats done, and all the details, vents etc are now blacked in.

  Tried washing them with the same formula i used 8 years ago and it pooled and left horrible tide marks. I'm guessing paints and washes don't last for ever!! So, had to re-paint the ruined vehicle from black undercoat up.

Next step, blockign in details - vents and louvres, smoke dischargers, lights, weapons etc.

then... I need to design some decals like this..



Check my blog for the thinking on designs.

[Mr. Peabody]

Dude, I had no idea you were a Role Master Veteran! 

Respect.

[Brandlin]

All camouflage work done. Most of the details complete or just blocked in black.

Still to do : Metal coat on the diamond plate, edge highlighting of all the panels (urgh! - I hate that bit!), winter weathering. Then there are decals to go on.

The picture shows the 8 year old paint job I am trying to match on the largest APC.

One word reaction: awesome.

It's as if you have lights on inside the cabs! What about trying OSL on the lights/beacons?

Thanks von lucky.

That's in my plans, but it will likely be a simple soft airbrush glow around each light.
