Filters are definitely useful.

Post by MrChef »

Since I can't leave well enough alone AND I don't have time for proper work now. I used a bit of non-existent free time to do a quick weathering job on this garish cat. You can sorta blame Bix for getting me addicted to the airbrush. Yes it's a tool but it's Sooo damned fun it's like a toy to me :D

Fresh out da box. What a patchwork quilt she be.

Thinned this Kursk soil out a bunch and shot it at 15PSI with a .5mm needle.

Watched some primary school art class videos on YouTube to learn that blue makes the orange yellow tan. Whoo'da thunk? Funny I got these filters several years ago when I started this silly journey. Never even opened or thought I'd open the blue filter :haha: And shot the tan filter over the top to hopefully "unify" as Mig Jimenez always says. Realistically I was trying to erase and make it as light as possible for the magic muck.

Had half a pot of the green for green AFV's and won't likely need it soon before it dries out soooo. On it goes... Plus I don't have lotsa time and I don't want to waste other product. Plus this stuff is soooo user friendly except for I agree with HDP it's kinda messy. I wore gloves.

Stupid,
I used just one pigment. Syrian dust or something like that. And there ya have it. Not half bad. Very down and dirty quick method.

:{ Sorry mate but an I told you so moment right there..............airbrush...........every home should have one !!

Tigers with magic grime is nice but a bit dark to my eye.
Lost definition of the camo a bit much I reckon.
The pic above the one with the primer in it is the one Im referencing. Just needs a bit more grime wiped off I reckon.
Thats just me though :shifty:

Not to fear, her date with the airbrush and a spankin new coat of dunkelgelb will happen eventually. I much prefer weathering oils now but have less than zero free time during golf season. I just had to mute the cacophony of technicolor madness for now.

Oh Ohhhhhh looks like Mr Rat has finally gotten through as well-

I find that Kursk Soil either by AK or AMMO by MIG is by far the most effective dust wash shade for me for whatever European front my tank is from. It is so easy to modulate from heavy to light areas over the course of applying it with a brush with the thinner.
