The proportion of red/brown to the other two is always the toughest to get right for me. I'm assuming this is your concern & not late war sharp edges. PaulE

Paul, I think it is the ratio of colours but that said, These were applied by the crews and I have never been a stickler for accuracy as you know :tongue-out3:

John, Thanks your right

Camouflage has been added not that happy with it but hopefully the next stages will improve it.

Evening Paul,

Still alive buddy and like the rest, waiting to see what you have up your sleeve next. Don't worry about the camo! I don't think Van Gough served in the Wehrmacht. Looking tops my friend…..

Due to some comments received on some previous build about the finish on my builds I have decided to do a quick SBS. I hope it won't bore you and there are many ways of achieving a good finish but this works for me.

Once the main colours have been painted the whole build receives a gloss coat of your choice, I use Johnsons Klear floor seal. This is allowed to dry at least overnight. Then the decals are applied and another clear coat which again is allowed to dry.

Next various oil colours are applied to some card, this allows the oils to leech out. I use white various browns and greens. The ratio of which will depend on the base colours.

Next using a fine brush apply small dots of the oils I tend to apply white all over then dark over light and light over dark so the light colours are darkened and the dark lightened if that make sense. Then using a soft flat brush dampened in clean turps, I use Windsor and Newton odourless. The brush is drawn down a few times until the streaks are a strong or feint as you require. One thing to bear in mind is to try and follow the direction that rain would follow on the vehicle ie down and to the edges.






As you can see it gives a nice streaked effect and helps to blend the colours together. It looks a little more bleached in the picture than in reality.

Hope this is of some use.

Next I have applied some pin washes and chipping.



Finally

Pigments have been added to the hull.



still lots of work to do but it's getting there.

cheers Scottie
