Nice paint job! Like the gray paint has come off in areas.

Beautiful work, Keith. You dirtied her up real good. No showroom tanks here!

A man after my own heart.

Well done! May I ask what company you got the vehicle from? I assume it's 28mm?

It's from Anglian miniatures. The kit is a lovely wee metal thing - quite tiny in the hand.

Excellent! It looks dirty and rotten! Just great!

Any chance of a few tips on how you achieved that look? It's just blown me away how you've made what is a rather bland tank look so fantastic. I have some bland grey tanks to paint, and need all the help I can get!

Well - a good start is to put a little bit of blue into your grey mix (not much) and lighten it so that the colour is more 'to scale. Then very lightly wash everything with very very watery mixes of sand and buff colours - just to stain everything a bit. Lastly pick out all of the creases and panels etc. in a dark grey/brown (the red in the brown makes the grey look a deeper complimentary tone) mix. The last bit can be quite dark because it gives the vehicle it's shape back after all of the grey and washing.

Hope that helps?

Thanks, Keith. So you don't actually do highlighting via drybrushing or other methods? You go the other way and make the dark areas darker? Interesting. If I'm understanding you correctly I'll have to try that. Ta.

Yep. I sometimes do a very light drybrushing but generally avoid it. It always looks a bit like drybrushing to me

You can highlight the edges of the armour in a lighter tone of the grey for sure - but maybe best done in a controlled way with very thin paint.
