Thanks James!! One thing about this stuff is that you can put on as much or as little as you want and if you don't like it you can remove it pretty easy. I did some streaking using the same stuff. Those will be in the next pictures.

Me too Me too!

Never thought of applying the lower color last, John did it with that rusted out drum on his dio he's working on, now you did it here..Makes sense, backwards sense but I understand how the color comes out much better.

Good Stuff!

Well it's much easier to control what's happening with the color. I tried it the other way with washes or pastels and it came out really bad.

Hi, Terry.

I like the way you drybrushed the black over the flat earth,it gives it a nice dusty look!

Have to remember that when someday I will do a wheeled vehicle.

Should be pretty easy to do. Just watch out for the overspray.

you sprayed it, thought it was drybrush.

Oh I thought you were talking about the tire color. No I put the dirt on with a brush. Well sprinkled it on with a brush. Sorry bad transmission.

Re: TERRY'S 234/1 8-RAD"ALMOST DONE"

Well we are just about to end of the road. I have added some more streaking, dusty areas, fuel spills and yeah muddy spots. The next update will most likely be the finished pics, but until then here are some images of last nights work.

Well boys and girls the construction is done! 98% of the paintings is done. Let the weathering begin. I started by working on the wheels and then I will work my way up.

First I painted the tires with a moderate coating of Tamyia Flat Earth.



Then I go back and dry brush the tires with Tamiya Nato Black



Next comes some mud application. This is done using acrylic floor wax and pastel powder. First apply the floor wax to an area.



Then sprinkle an earth tone pastel powder onto the wet wax.

When the floor coating dries the mud will fixed in place.

I did this to all the wheels inside and out. This was done to the wheel wells and the underside of the 8-RAD.


I will continue this process with some lighter tones. Next I will do some dust areas on the upper surfaces to stay tuned. Questions and comments are always welcome.

Just wanted to condense Terry's Tire Treatment technique..

Looks really really good, but if I may I would like to make just one helpful comment. I see there is alot of streaking, to me some of it is too uniform, almost lined up like tin soldiers, evenly spaced and all the same length. If you just made some longer and made some fainter, the effect would be more natural. Also for rust streaks, I like to add a small rusted chip spot the streak comes from, if its not from around a bolted or welded detail.

HTH and it looks great!

well thank you terry, thank you so much!

i found myself leering at the tamiya sdkfz323 (8rad) lately and no, i did not only spy out that kit, i also leered at the italeri 232 (6rad) and armorscale barrel!

thank you terry! i find myself eager to build another armoured car!

it's because of your excellent build that i feel hunger for a recon vehicle!

gnarfp!

 

[MrT]

First thanks to Randy and Erik I'm glad you like it. With every model that I complete I learn a little more and this one is no exception. There are still some minor things to tweek, but for the most part this one is finished. Here are some pictures of the finished product. I hope you guys enjoyed the project, but now it's time to move on to the next thing.
