Trying on a slower technique of weathering instead of slapping on some pigments. Basically much higher contrast and with a lot of layering with oil washes/paints. For now I'm pretty pleased with how it's developing. Still have to muddy it up a little with pigments later on due to their amazing ability to look gritty.
The base colour is from AK-Interactives Soviet Green modulation pack. I'm sort of in love with it. Just the perfect mix of pigments with a slight hint of yellow. I added a filter of yellow ochre on top of it just to make it look more vivid.
That's looking great man! I have the same kit but I haven't gotten around to painting it properly yet.
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring.
Thanks! :D
ReplyDeleteWhen you get around to paint it. Check if you can cut the decals so the rivets on the add-on armour don't interfere too much with them. I was already committed (soaked decals and stuff) when I realized that they weren't gonna go on there without much hassle. After a couple of passes with Micro Sol they kinda looked OK. But the right front got a bit wrinkled (as you can see in the photo).
When you've painted it, come back here and drop me a link :D
Cheers!
