I really am into vignettes etc, and have only done one complete armor model but Ihave two in the works (gotta fix my aztec). I actually did my first tank by brush with NO primer with NO airbrush. It came out crappy but voer a good 4 months (long time, right?) I learned more and more techniques. I pinted over lumpy areas and it smoothed out. I drybrushed buff for dust and a lot of flat aluminum becuase I plan on putting some grenadier on there (people overlook how grenadiers always hitched rides on panzerkampfwagons III and IV, and over look how there will be bare metal on a flat surface instead of only on corners, hatches and wheels. There should be a lot of aluminum as worn metal). I mixe my own paint for the tracks, some black, flat, redbrown, and isoprpryl alcohol. Pencils do fine for aluminum colr, but can rub off. I need to finish some of my figures, which is about 9 all together and ill post some pics. My dio with it will be them going along in a french town with some americans stalking them in a wrcked building, one with bazooka and some setting up a 30 cal or 50 cal, gotta research it, by a window with one guys running from across the street with ammo clips. Hope the thred continues....................to DOMINATE ALL THREADS..........MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!
