discussion Tamiya StuG, StuH and modulation

[BattleshipBob]

Evening all

Have quickly built and primed the Tamiya StuG in StuH ausf, not to fussy with the primer.

Will be using Mr Colors panzer grey modulation set





Steve H and Steve Jones have been very grateful with guidance and support. Always have the Tamiya StuG in stock so ideal candidate for a quick build and experimenting

Whats to go wrong lol

Best of luck with your experimenting Bob.

Enjoy the experience

Nice build too, I did one awhile ago in Dunkelgelb as a similar experiment

Dunkelgelb experiment

I need to get cracking again, getting lethargic with the lockdown and looking after ""The Resident Patient""

Have fun

afternoon

Started on the modulation thingy, used the Iwata to add various shadows then a coat of dunkelgelb to hopefully show a differance in the shadow areas







Not sure if the pics show the effects too well??

Not blowing my very own trumpet but it looks better in the flesh or plastic

My new airbrush has arrived so after practice with it i will have a go at lightening the panels etc

If you study the pics you can see where the effects are, really something I should get round to as well.

Hi Bob

The photos have saturated the contrast

I'm not a photographer, so that is probably not the right term!!!

Have a good day with the new AB and go extreme, even with lightest/white as the final contrast for tops of nuts and clamps.

1 coat of sepia/dark brown wash starts to take everything down, so you can't spoil it no matter how light you get.

Have fun with the practise too
