Spent some time at the bench yesterday and today and finished assembling and painting the Japanese officer. Posed on the tank...next steps will be putting the finishing steps on the tank and weathering.

Really nice work on the painting! And great to see you back to work on this!

 

BTW: The inside of the hatch should probably be the same colour as the outside of the tank.

Thanks guys,

Gamera, I'll have to mix up a bit of paint and fix that.

 

Pawel, shortly after he climbed on the tank and opened the hatch Major Adachi was shot off by another tanks machine gun and then ran over, sad for him indeed...but a compelling and I think interesting story to tell through modeling

Commenced with weathering today. Got the "dot filtering" done

 

 

Compare and contrast...it definitely helped and I don't think the color is too light now.

Josiah - I never said the story wasn't interesting. Just looked at the picture and thought - something bad is going to happen right now! That's why I said "sad". You just confirmed my fears!

The hull is looking good, some shading will definitely do the model good. Keep up the good work and have a nice day!

Looks really good to me! I can understand why some people don't like stuff like filters and modulation but I like the extra contrast it adds to a plain jane green model.

Very Nice! You've done a great job making it look worn and sunbleached AFV!
