Extreme weathering on 1/16 KT
Posted by Bodge on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 1:21 PM

Hi guys, this is a full working RC KT that i have been working on for some time now .It is still not finished and does have some inaccuracies because of the RC nature like the screws holding on the skirts which have to stay for maintenance and the track inner detail as they are working tracks along with a few other inaccuracies for the maintenance of this beast. What i have done is i have added cast steel effects to turret and hull,weld beads, torch cutting marks , rolled steel effects, cast effects to exhaust shrouds and cast effects to the exhausts. I have painted it in red oxide primer then added the camo colours. Then this is a labour of love on the weathering side. I am enjoying it though as every session reveals a more realistic look to the model.

Wow, that's wonderful Andy. I imagine it's a bit easier in that scale to do fine weathering on it, such as chipping and the mufflers.

This looks awesome! Yes

I wouldn't categorize it as extreme - looks perfect, and I think this larger scale allows one to do more acceptable chipping.

regards,

Jack

Lovely work, Andy.

I"d love to see you share some of your methods with the gang here. I'm sure people would love to be able to learn from you how you manage the finish. Smile
