Washes and some details
Added 2024-05-22 21:02:05 +0000 UTCMy friends, the tank is in the process of detail painting! 😁
The washes were so much fun. I used a wash for German Yellow and a Dark Umber wash for the deep shadows and panels. The post-shading helped a lot! It just works so great with washes.
I didn’t have enough energy to finish painting all the details with acrylics, but after these are done I’ll hit the model with rust colored oil paints. As an example, the light colored exhausts are a preparation for the rust treatment.
It’s quite awesome to observe how much sharper the model looks after those washes!

But isn’t it nice to be able to improve even after all these years?

2024-05-28 11:22:19 +0000 UTCMy first plan was to 3D model and print new ones, but then I decided to keep it as much OOTB as possible. But yeah, they are the prime candidates for replacement.

2024-05-22 21:39:48 +0000 UTCAll that flame-cut metal is really popping. Also, Martin, did you have a reference for the cast turret or did the texture come out of your head? It looks super-realistic and artistic at the same time.
