When I spray the base coat I just carefully spray the centre of the wheels, it doesn't need to be totally accurate as the weathering covers most of it. As the pigment covers most of the paintwork there is little point painting prior, which is where the dry brushing with the oil paints becomes important in bring back some definition to those areas. Hope that helps.The Tactical Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980190745315043364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-31907238278803205942019-09-05T04:19:35.353+10:002019-09-05T04:19:35.353+10:00It looks great.

Stunning work as always. Seeing you appl...Hi Mark,<br /><br />Stunning work as always. Seeing you apply the techniques and principles from your 1/35 scale modelling experience is illuminating. I certainly appreciate the extra attention to detail you give your models - particularly when it all comes together on the tabletop when it truly shines during your AARs. I must admit that one of the reasons I've gone with 28mm for my personal CoC collection is so I can justify not buying any AFVs...that and I no longer have the eyesight to paint 15 or 20mm figures to the level I would want - 28mm is about my limit these days.<br /><br />I look forward to one day seeing one of your games at Bearz when I am next able to attend.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05776500699334014788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-26635360264591760392019-08-24T15:04:57.818+10:002019-08-24T15:04:57.818+10:00Thanks for sharing that, my next attempt will be t...Thanks for sharing that, my next attempt will be to try something more ambitious and go for the hessian tape look.

My wargames were board games and I modelled in 1/35, the two hobbies lived separate existences. With my return to miniatures I'm able to use some of the techniques I learned in larger scales and try to apply them in smaller scales.The Tactical Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980190745315043364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861229654080360536.post-23769357348090912832019-08-24T04:44:33.135+10:002019-08-24T04:44:33.135+10:00Excellent work.
