Hello
Is this a good way to paint my Tank models? What do you guys think? (I use acrylic for this and add retarder to my paint). Trust me, I have watched hundreds of videos and read quite a few articles and picked the best tips for me, I know a lot of methods.
Prime with Tamiya Spray Grey Primer
Shadow Coat (Airbrush) with Tamiya Nato Black
Paint the main colour
Paint the tracks lightly with an airbrushed coat of a rust colour, then brush lightly with a silver on the side of the tracks
By using a sponge, dip into paint and remove excess. Place on edges where chipping would occur (with tweezers).
Using a toothpick, dip into enamel black and dot. As soon as this is done, dip a brush into enamel thinner and remove excess. Brush down for streaks.
Use panel accent line colour on panel lines.
Use Tamiya weathering sets where required (mud, sand, soot etc)
Use a pencil on edges for bare metal
Airbrush XF-57 Buff far away for dust effects
Finally, seal all down with Flat Clear coat from Tamiya
Anything that could be added for subtle and realistic weathering?
Thank you
