Hi all,
Forgive me, but I"m up in NY again, "working", and haven' been able to post an update or get on the forum much this week. I took these photos before I left though and am able to find a couple minutes at the day's end here to give an update.
I gave the model a preliminary pin wash of Black,
I put a light coat of stippled "Buff" oil paint on the bottom and behind the wheels. Note the yellow decals--I didn't really like the look of these, so I rubbed them off. I'm going to look in the spares box for something more current.
Wheels got a wash of Black-green oil and a tiny bit of rust in the rims.
The resin tracks, painted and weathered, I used AK Metallic powder to make the track where the wheels would run. The tracks were painted Tamiya Brown/Black mix, washed wit rust oil, and drybrushed with steel.
The tracks look MUCH better than those awful Italeri rubber bands!
So far....where I stopped before leaving for New York...
Still have a bit to do yet in terms of detail painting and weathering the spade. That'll be fun. I'm hoping to be back in Charlotte by next weekend so I should be back at this before too long.
Call out anything you see that needs attention, guys! I'd appreciate it!
