Matchbox 1/72 Mk I Male, Tamiya 1:35 Tiger Ausf. B, 1/16 Heng Long Leopard 2A6. All three are a WIP. The Mk I (10cm hull length) has only its base coat applied, the Tiger Ausf. B (20.5cm hull length) has its basic camouflage done, needs detailing and weathering, and the Leopard 2A6 (49cm hull length) just needs the weathering done. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

30 Ballistic_Dad Members 130 posts 8,439 battles Report post #5 Posted February 20, 2017 good observation...Excellent paint work on the Leopard so far Lert, also what technique do you plan on for the "weathering"....wash? dry brush? graphite? Like to see your work when your done. GJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
39,481 [HINON] Lert Alpha Tester 27,858 posts 27,299 battles Report post #6 Posted February 20, 2017 Excellent paint work on the Leopard so far Lert Thank you, but I can't take full credit for that. 80% of Heng Long standard that was already applied out of the box, 20% is me touching it up. what technique do you plan on for the "weathering"....wash? dry brush? graphite? Drybrushing / graphite for paint chipping effect, washes for grime and dirt, rain streaks, some tactically applied rust, am even considering a partial white-wash using the hairspray technique on the Tiger Ausf. B and / or the Leopard for a winter camo effect: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
