TAMIYA FLAK 36/37 88 GUN

[the goon]

Hey out there,

Thought I would post one of my recent builds, The Tamyia flak 36/37 in 1/35th scale. This a OOB build, with Model Master paints, and weathering pastels/dirty washes. I had never built a field gun before, it went together well. The base color is Model Master DAK sand out of the rattlecan, then a series of washes/dry brushing. My main field of builds are rc scale ships, plastic light duty vehicles, and armor. sorry about the shadows of the photos.

Nicely done!

The weathering is "just right" for a desert veteran.

Nice job, Mark!!!!!

How did you learn to create such stunning weathering??

Clovis,

Thanks a million . I guess the biggest part of weathering for me was/is the trial and error. I truly do enjoy the weathering process. I've never been very good at thinning paint for my airbrush, so I've always used the washes/dry brushing/pastels system. I've also used oils, but feel more comfortable with the enamels. I believe there's always the fine line between doing enough weathering to have it be seen, and going too far, as to overpower the base colors. I love to look at all types of models, to see how others have achieved their results.
