Seems to me, that such a beast would draw fire. Probably felt nice and invulnerable until it got bogged down and the artillery started getting the range.

king derelict Posted November 5, 2021 Author #33 Posted November 5, 2021 I wanted to add a black wash to bring out the panel lines and hatched. In the past I have used a very dilute acrylic wash straight onto the surface. It has worked quite well but it tends to end up all over the various surfaces and darkens the base paints. I decided to try a different approach and air brushed a coating of Future floor sealant and when it was dry ran a dilute wash of artists oil black paint. I used Q-tips to clean up the surplus. I maybe should have made a stronger effect but I like the result. The decals were applied. Not the kits strong point, lots of backing film but they went on quite nicely. I will add a dust film over the running gear and lower hull next. I don't plan to weather too much. I don't think these were around too long to get heavily corroded. Thanks for looking and hope everyone has a great weekend Alan Egilman, mtaylor, Edwardkenway and 7 others 9 1 Quote

lmagna Posted November 7, 2021 #39 Posted November 7, 2021 Nicely done Alan. It is amazing how you can take a box with guns and make it an interesting build to follow. It may have been a simple kit but your effort made it better than it's parts.

king derelict Posted November 9, 2021 Author #44 Posted November 9, 2021 I decided on some very mild weathering. I don't really know what a realistic level is. Some models seem to have been an exercise in adding as much weathering as the model would hold and that seems a bit too much for me. I can see vehicles on long campaigns bashing cross country are through rubble are going to get pretty beaten up but it seems the WW1 tanks would not have that sort of life and would be dirty in use and relatively tidy when in the rear. So I decided to add a little rust to the running gear, tracks and the edges of the lower panels. I currently using the Vallejo product and like the effect of the dark and light rust colours provided. I used the dark rust colours at the edge of the lower panels and then a touch of the light rust within the dark rust and then diluted it and spread it with a wet brush. After it dried I air brushed a mist of buff onto the lower hull and running gear. I'm trying to emulate OC but its not as good. Finally a matt coat was air brushed to lose the gloss applied earlier. Lastly the point of this build - to meet the Renault FT17 to compare sizes. Oh my Can't we just get along? Thanks for looking. all the kind comments and helpful advice Alan Edwardkenway, Canute, Egilman and 6 others 9 Quote
Old Collingwood Posted November 9, 2021 #45 Posted November 9, 2021 I do like your weathering Alan - that looks Spot on to me - dont foreget the dust/mud can go on in different ways - I thought of spraying it but decided to dry brush it instead - there are tons of different ways we can achieve our weathering - I like yours mate.

OC. Thank you for the kind comment OC. I am a bit heavy handed when I dry brush so I thought the air brush might work. The down side is trying to keep the spray where you want it.
