Both of those look great, but I especially like that E-100. Excellent camo scheme!YesYes

Welcome back! Both look like they will provide excellent work-canvas for some weathering attention for sure. Beer

Love these two builds, a great looking job you have done. You can basically do what you want when it come to weathering with these, from leave as they are to making them look like production vehicles and beating the hell out of them. But i would go with whats been said and a pin wash, maybe a light all over oil wash.

I was thinking of doing somthing similar with my maus, and i think this has convinced me its a good idea. How where those kits to build, and did you add any extras.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Very nice!  Wish I could've seen a step-by-step on the ambush camo scheme.  Got a Maus in the stash.  One day, one day!

Great to see you back Shellback. Yes

You have a couple of superb camo jobs. I really dig that E-100's ambush. 

I concur they're clean, but perhaps a couple of pin washes and filters and you're good to go. I don't think I'd beat them to death, because like you said they're more or less prototypes. Have some fun or leave them be. You really can't go wrong either way.

DML E-100 and Maus in 1/35th
Posted by Shellback on Monday, March 28, 2011 7:55 PM

I built and painted these two and then put them up on the shelf to collect dust a few years ago . The other day i pulled them down and decided they need some weathering . The base color on both is enamel and the camo colors are Tamiya .

I painted the Maus to roughly look like the pictures of it i had seen in black and white , probably too neatly done .

 

I went with a ambush patern on the E100 camo.

I'm not sure how much weathering to apply . The Maus was a prototype and the E100 was not completed . One thing is for sure ..they are both to clean now .
