Very nice. I tend to favor understated weathering like that. Nothing against the heavy stuff, just personal preference. Can you list the paints and wx techniques/products, please?
thanks
for paint I started with flat black base, just spray bombed it , then tamiya XF-58, and mixed in X-2 to make the color lighter and lighter for the CM,
next I cover the whole tank with burnt umber oil color, right from the tube, brush on a nice layer. then wipe it off and blend it around with a brush. this changes the tone of the base color and also gives cool effects.
everything else is done with artist oils. just cheap ones from the dollar store.. streaking etc.. dust is just layers of washes.
all the little scratches are made with a pointy brush and acrylic paint, a red brown black mix.
for the thicker mud I use some concrete and mix with white glue and water then stick it on. you can change the colors after with oil washes to make some spots look wet or dry. I use this on the lower hull around the tracks in there.
heres a progress shot to show the concrete mix, and you can layer it on, or use the splatter technique with the airbrush and paint brush if you want to build up a lot of layers.
i went with less is more
