I've had a few too many half completed AFVs sitting on the shelf for far too long, so this week I've been finishing these off. These are a diversion from the Pacific project but give me a bit of a break from that as well. So first up, in any colour, as long as it's Russian green, here comes the Red Army:

Milicast BA64 - unfortunately it suffered a broken MG barrel and needs a repair job. |
Next up, in any colour as long as it's panzer grey, we have some early/mid war German armour:

After a dose of dull monotones we now go to the opposite extreme for some German late war ambush scheme tri-colour camouflage. Really enjoyed painting these two.

I think this is the UM Hetzer, I can't actually remember |
Last, but not least and back to monotone again, this is the Airfix Churchill Crocodile. I've made a few modifications to the original kit, but not that much:
Excellent work,your done a great job of finishing unfinished work.
ReplyDeletecheers John
Love the camo on the hetzer. Looks like a unimodel.
ReplyDeleteLovely work. Really like the way you have weathered them all. What do you use for this?
ReplyDeleteThanks. I guess the weathering starts from the initial paint job. I use the colour modulation technique to highlight and fade panels. I then dab the edges with a piece of sponge dipped in a mix of hull red and black grey. The dust/dried mud was applied using Mig pigments. I build this up in layers, fixing each layer as I go with a spray of Mig pigment fixer. I hope that helps. I suppose I should do a SBS to show how I do it. One day!
