While I wait for my head to figure out how I want the upper deck and turret to look ( weathering vice ) I started on the Wheels . Light wash's and predust and mud.

Using water thinned AK Dust , and air from the AB I 'blow' the dust arround on the Wheel













'buffing the washes



Adding oil streaks

Placing a good drop of mig/ak/ammo Oil in one corner of center Wheel.




grab the Axel With my pliers, and 'spinn the whell as good as I can

Ya got it goin on sunshine
I am looking at how you will do the red oxide primer as a base, as its the base for my Jagdtiger camo.
Excellent effect so far

That is just the coolest looking camo!

Great technique for the oil stains on the wheels, Max. It's a really neat effect.

Drilling was the tricky part

[maxmekker]

felt it was time to get some mud color on this puppy .

Made up a 'slush' oil bath ( Oil + thinner ) for the pigments to settle into. Slabbing it onto the hull, follow by dabbing in several pigments colors into the wet mix.








Once 'so so' happy with the color, I sealed it with AK's ultra varnish.

after letting it dry I went back and fort with a short stiff brush and a few producst from Wilder and Ammo to make some splatter effects
