Great work so far, going to watch this one

 

[Guest]

Let's continue folks!


I've started the painting and ageing process. First, primer:

Then, a desert yellow tone:


View attachment 244783



I highlighted the edges and bolts and I also used a brown wash for shadowing:


View attachment 244784



View attachment 244786



View attachment 244787



Afterwards I painted other details from the chassis and the tires:

Some more brown tips to imitate some chipping:

and brown oils for rust:

Done with the chassis painting!

Now, I'll go for some ageing and dust, and for that I used putty, paint and nail polish remover (acetone)


View attachment 244793



I mixed everything to get a dark coloured liquid putty:


View attachment 244794



And then I sprayed the mix all over the chassis with an old toothbrush:


View attachment 244795



This is the result, some nice mud spatters:


View attachment 244796



But it still doesn't look like mud, so that's why I used some pigments:

After some layers, once the thinner is dry, this is how it looked:

View attachment 244801



View attachment 244802



View attachment 244803



I used some oil paints in the joints to imitate the grease in the suspensions:


View attachment 244804



Oh! Don't think I forgot the tires:


View attachment 244805



So after all, it really looks like it just came out of the desert:

Hope you liked it!

Some very nice work indeed, and some great weathering tips.

 

[Guest]

Good tips for weathering, cheers

 

[Guest]

Thank you all for the comments!


I have continued with the interior of the vehicle:


First the usual layer of primer:


View attachment 246648



To show further chipping effects, I used a little bit of liquid mask:


View attachment 246649



Then I sprayed the desert yellow all over the piece:


View attachment 246650



View attachment 246651



I also painted the dashboard:


View attachment 246652



View attachment 246653



View attachment 246654



View attachment 246655



View attachment 246656



Once the paint is dry, I have used a toothpick to remove the liquid mask, showing the primer layer:


View attachment 246657



View attachment 246658



Then I used some washes to add depth:


View attachment 246659



Then I painted the bags on the back of the seat:


View attachment 246660



And weathered it heavily with pigments (remember they have removed the doors)


View attachment 246661



View attachment 246662

I had to place the radio and the computer.


View attachment 246670



I add a coiled wire to the radio as I have seen it in some pictures:


View attachment 246675



Then I painted the radio set:


View attachment 246671



Since the computer screen looked a little bit weird painted black, I painted the windows logo to make it look better:


View attachment 246672



With a drop of glossy varnish it looks great:


View attachment 246673



And then I placed the radio in place:


View attachment 246674



For now that's all


Hope you liked it!

I have had some problems uploading the final pictures with the windshield. I hope this time it will work.


First I used the windshield piece to make a draw to imitate the rain marks:


View attachment 246679



I used that draw to transfer the image to tape:


View attachment 246680



View attachment 246681



Then I placed the tape in the clear plastic pieces:


View attachment 246682



And I airbrushed a very dilluted layer of tan and made some thicker markings with the brush:


View attachment 246683



I also sprayed some paint with a thick old brush and this is how it looks:


View attachment 246684



Then I painted the inner part of the roof and the rubber borders of the glass:


View attachment 246685



And this is how it looks all together:

[Guest]

[Guest]

Love what you are doing with this, the weathering of the chassis is just superb.

 

[takeslousyphotos]

This is some superb work going on here .......... Great weathering tips. I'm going to have to watch the rest of this build.

 

[Guest]

Thanks everyone for your kind comments!


I've had some crazy weeks at work and I couldn't find a minute to post my advances, but finally here they are:


I finished painting the roof canvas with some desert camo:

View attachment 250307



View attachment 250308



View attachment 250309



View attachment 250310



I had the image in my head of a humvee ramming a door (still don't remember if I saw that in Generation Kill, Call of Duty or the news...) Anyway, I thought it was a powerful image so I just tried something like that:


First I painted and weathered one of the rubber tires of the kit:


View attachment 250318



Then I cut a pewter sheet to get a sling:


View attachment 250311



View attachment 250312



Next, I placed the tire in the grid:


View attachment 250313



Some adjustments and a photoetched hook:


View attachment 250314



View attachment 250315



View attachment 250316



And there you have, a menacing ram!


View attachment 250317



Afterwards I airbrushed some green and brown, just like if the owners would haved use some spray cans, as you can see in some pictures:


View attachment 250319



View attachment 250320



View attachment 250321



Step by step, it's nearly to be finished...


Regards!
