the camo - there was neatly applied camo (the picasso stug e.g.) and there was not so neatly applied camo, done in a haste and by a not so skillfull crew member ...

... the latter was what i wanted to recreate - and indeed it isn't neat looking. i know what i did wrong - i used a round brush and should have used a round and a flat. add a speck of color with the round one and do a quick stroke with the flat one - that way it would have turned out like i wanted.

but alas - the camo stays like it is!

the camo at the base of the barrel was an accident, me stupid touched the barrel with the green loaded brush, so i added more blobs and wiped each spot with a finger to give them a frazzled look ... at least that turned out not too bad ...

next stop - washing with dark brown (that will be done with both 88s i have in the work at the moment)

Looks interesting Laura. I think under a coat of weathering it will blend in the way you want. Good tip about 2 brushes,never thought of doing that before. Wicked looking gun.

Interesting approach, Laura. I'm thinking James is right about the weathering, looking forward to your finish. :drinks

i just oversprayed the camo, lost all effects of the underpaint and now will think about if and what new camo i will do

I always run into that when preshading. Sorry Laura, it looked really cool!

this morning i applied another try of camo and although it's closer to what i have in mind it's still crap!

guess what will be my next step ... *sigh*

 

[moon puppy]

Hi Laura,

Great build I liked the "old" camo you did, but now I'm looking forward what you are going to do with it now! I'm sure it will work out fine

ok now - stripped the shield and repainted it! second take on the camo was more horrible than the first one ... on to take three - but not without making up my mind on what camo i will do (maybe some neatly applied with ab instead of brush work) and how i will do it!

brml!

the even worse camo (at least a little bit how i wanted it but very badly executed)

stripped (it's telling tales that i liked that appearance most so far!!!)

repainted

Hmmmmm Jummy

Quickchange Camo!

I like them all really, I think once you filter and weather, get it all blended in it'll work.

Keep at it Laura! You'll get to where you want to go.
