It has received a gloss coat, when this had dried overnight a pin wash was applied and then he decals. This will be again be left, then the chipping and weathering will continue.

Well, leave it to Rick to sink this conversation to yet an even lower, darker depth of morality :tongue-out2:Terrific progress on this since I last dropped in......those old bags of sand really look the part. Speaking of "old bags", I'm told it's the method that Matron uses to apply the cream, 'ats what has people talking.........a little "tongue" in cheek for ya! :tongue-out3:
Don't know nuttin' about morals, but Paul, that is one mighty fine looking Pz. III!!! Love the old sand bags and they look like if you touch them, you'll get your hands dirty. Fantastic work all around Sir!!!

Ron, it's probably better if you ignore them and stay pure
:smiling: Cheers Allen, I might add a little bit of sand later to represent a split bag. Thanks for reminding me I'm getting older :smiling::smiling:
Cheers Tim, really glad you like it.
Cheers Nick good to see you.
Jim, very kind of you. there was an old sitcom on TV Never mind the quality feel the width or was that the catch phrase.
Very true mate I'm to old for the snowflake society. :smiling:
The next stage was to add some chipping and wear and tear, I didn't want a lot just some general effects. This was followed by a flat coat.
Next an accumulation of dirt on the hull. I don't want wet mud just a heavy build up of road dirt. The sprocket teeth were polished with a HB pencil.
The suspension seems to be very low in this picture but I will set the ride height when I set it on the base. The tracks will stay off until then as well.

Hi Scottie
Brilliant. Even on the big screen of my desktop computer it looks superb.
The accumulated dirt. Pigments?? How are they fixed?? I ask because it looks really natural.

Jim, thank you mate. The way I do it is to apply Tamyia X20A to where I want the dirt and then tapping a large flat brush loaded with pigment to dust the area. The deeper you want the dirt the wetter you make the area and the more pigments are used. Does that make sense?
Thank you mate, it's good to see you again.Lovely panzer Scottie, great looking weathering:thumb2:
Definitely does, thanks. I'd not thought of X-20 as a pigment fixer.
Jim
Superb wear and tear on that Scottie. The sprocket shot could be taken for a real one.
It's ideal as a fixer. Then to make doubly sure I mist over the flat coat.
Pass mate it was on the decal sheet there is one on the rear hull as well. The trouble is the instructions give four versions in the paint guide but it doesn't give any info as to unit or location.Okay! I give up. Whats the black circle on the front mudguard please?? Certainly never seen a divisional marking like that before:nerd::nerd::smiling2:
Thanks Tim happy you like it.
