The method I use is far cheaper and does give a similar effect but only really works on single colour tanks. I paint using a make up wedge. But this only really works with the Vallejo acrylic paints that are not thinned for airbrushes

That would take a very long time to paint 1:1 scale though

"Yeah, I collect tracks, but some are... Unobtainable." Gee Whiz, Marco Peter, and I though it was hard to keep track of my collection.

Can you guess the track? All three?





I must say for a first try I am very satisfied!

Wow, that texture effect is sick! Great job

Nice job.

I wouldn't go by museum pieces when it comes to the texture of the casting. These are often tanks that have been rusting in the air for decades before they ended up in a museum.

100% true, but, if I add a super rare track to my collection like this, I want it to look like the others instead of brand new.

I already made a Tiger 1 Transportkette and although I like what I did to it, it still looks 'off' because it's too perfect.

Glad it worked out. And I learned from your post (the variety of sanding, painting and the graphite pencils) the many ways the texture can come out! Well done!

That's why we're here! To share and learn!
