1914 Minerva

Spent the past couple of days airbrushing the camouflage. First it was some pre shading then the fun began.
I'm about halfway through the process of black outlining the color patches.

Wow, nice job Tim, really added depth to the camo.

 

[Tim A.]

Thanks all. I started regretting doing the camo scheme about halfway through it but I'm happy I went for it anyway.
Finished the main body paint and even though there's still a lot to do on the build I couldn't help but start adding a bit of grime.

An interesing model. Looks great so far!

Was the camo brush painted or masked airbrush for the 3 base colors?
It does look really good! Keep up the good work!

Excellent work on this CSM kit! These are little gems and your doing it justice.

Thanks. Masked and airbrushed. The black outlining was done with a technical pen. I had to do it before my excessive daily dose of coffee .

How did you make the black lines?

How did you make the black lines?

I used a Micron Pigma .45mm archival ink pen.

Found a painting showing the camo paint scheme. I haven't came across it done on a kit yet though.

The Hotchkiss gun mounted. I edited this because I originally wrote it as a Lewis.

Thanks Bob. It's a combination of many layers with some applied to disguise mistakes .
