discussion Box Diorama with a Soviet Self-Propelled Gun SU-122

[Guest]

The guest has gone , back to tranquillity at Race Towers , so back to normal cave living from tomorrow. The brick work to be painted, so should take some time but most enjoyable .
Hopefully an update tomorrow.

This is being done on my phone,so if some photos are on their sides , sorry , I've yet to upload them to the PC.

Gave the walls and brick work a thinned black wash, but when dry while starting to pick out the bricks I decided to lighten the whole thing. Just too dark , the brick lines esp stood out , when light grey would have been better .
The photos show the first black wash .


Not shown are with the Amig 3 ed Gen grey primmer and white mixed with the thinners



Also did the base with a very thin layer of white player filler, that is drying and will be coloured in later .

Door in roof first .


More tomorrow .

Thanks for looking in .
