Varnishing in 4 Steps

Post by Ardennen »

Hello,

here´s a simple Guide to varnish your Tanks or Cars.... Thanks to my friend Frank, who has the courage to give his scratch-built 1/16 38-T in my Hands :D

1. Step - The Primer

It´s necessary to clean the face before (for example with Isopropylalcohol)

Image

2. Step - Preshading the borders

Because this Tank will be varnish in Grey, I use a black colour. Also for green colours you can use a black colour. For German sand or tritonal Camo it´better to use a dark brown.

Image

3. step - Base colour

Brush the base colour cloudy such you can see cloudy the Preshading

Image

4. Step - Highlights

In the middle of the shets who are bleeching out of the sun brush cloudy a little bit of the base colour who is lighting with white ...

Image


That´s all ;) If you want make a colour sheme, you can do it after this steps. To Highlight this is the same: each colour is for himself to highlighting.

Here is one Pic after finishing this Tank:

Ich habe viel Zeit Malerei und Verwitterung in letzter Zeit verbracht, Ihre Technik scheint einfach und geradlinig, aber bestimmte Details fehlt und dass das Problem der Sprachen sein könnte, kann ich schreibe vorschlagen, Deutsche Erstaufführung, kann Englisch second.We Google Translator verwenden, um Ihr Deutsch zu lesen und auf diese Weise vielleicht wird es einfacher für Sie, Ihre Fähigkeiten, die auf sehr good.Saxondog scheinen Aktien

Hallo Saxondog,

die Idee ist gut, aber ich glaube, dass nicht jeder User sich die Mühe macht, den Translator zu benutzen :D

Bei diesem Tutorial sind die Bilder auch selbst erklärend. Da braucht man nicht viel Text zu schreiben.

Greez,

A fine Technic it is, I used this on my first tank as another member suggested this method,my last few I used a series of lead pencils to highlight the seams and surface changes.Then the base coat and some pastel highlighting.

But I must say your method is brilliant,and produced a fine Gray finish,very fine likeness.

Have you any ideas for the lighter tan colors of the late war German Armor you might share? Thanks Saxondog
