discussion Trumpeter 1/35 2S3 Akatsiya 152mn Self Propelled Howitzer

[Wong Ryan]

This is my latest build. I am incorporating the Black n White technique by Jose Luis Lopez , with some if my own modification to it. Basically this technique requires you to paint the kit using shades of gray between pure Black and pure white (inclusive of black n white itself). There r YouTubes video by Jose Luis Lopez . The logic is with all the weathering dine, you just need to spray the base color. the different shades of black, gray n white will change the color of your base color.

Pics not very clear though...View attachment 283533 View attachment 283534 View attachment 283535 View attachment 283536 View attachment 283537 View attachment 283538 View attachment 283539

And the overall 1st cut of the product... not exactly what was expected...need some refinement, but that will be on d next project. Will see how further weathering would improve the final outcome of this kit.View attachment 283669 View attachment 283670 View attachment 283671 View attachment 283672

Mmmm.....let's see how it looks after the weathering. Now I see something different....

 

[Wong Ryan]

Lightened with a bit of white + green paint. Picture is not that clear, but the model has gone through a round of blue filtering.

Thanks everyone, for the comments. Some chippings, and perhaps over speckled some green paints....may need to repaint some of the panels.
