Aaron Corey Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hi all, Lately I've been into big rig models, but my primary interest over the past 15 years or so has been armor and other military vehicles. Here are a few of my armor builds I've done over the past few years: And a few more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Very nice and clean. Of course they only looked that way once... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Very nice builds! Yes they are "gate guard" clean, but hey who says they have to be dirty? I love the PzIII on the flatcar. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Corey Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks guys The art of weathering is a difficult one to master... I usually weather the tracks slightly but leave the rest clean. My first attempt at weathering a full vehicle was the whitewahed Stug III at the bottom of my post. I used a whitewash method I saw in a magazine once - a coat of chalk powder mixed with water applied over the base coat. Then I used a stiff brush to wear off some of the whitewash (I probably took too much of it off though). I clearcoated to protect the whitewash then sprayed a light coat of brown on the lower hull to simulate mud. I was trying to depict a muddy vehicle in the spring where the winter whitewash was partly worn off. The vehicles in my post from top to bottom are: M1A2 Tiger Panzer III Panther M26 Pershing M4A3 E8 Sherman (Canadian Army, Korean war) Sherman V Firefly (Canadian Army, WWII) M923 and M35 trucks T-34 Stug III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 You have good solid armor builds there. Your painting is exemplary, but you should at least try a pin wash on the next one. It really brings out the detail and isn't hard to do. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
