Bison I - Light Chips

[Noel Petroni]

I had started this project some weeks ago but moving slower than usual.

It seems that Dragon made the instructions in a rush cos some parts were incorrectly numbered!

Box Art

Some paint for the interior

Vallejo Panzer Grey

Pre Shading

Base coat again of Panzer Grey

Played around with a few more shades and starting to look like this

Nice Noel , looks like what you've managed so far is a sweet look .

Straight Pz gray , or will you add the dark earth brown cammo ?

Hi Noel.

I have also thought about getting this kit, but I think I want to wait a while before I do anymore open topped stuff. It just gets to complicated for me . But I was wondering how the gun went together, because I was thinking about getting just the howitzer that Dragon has released (I think it is the same kit).But you have a great start to another fantastic paint job on the way.

I'm going for pure Panzer grey and hoping to achieve a very dusty effect!

I had built the Verlinden Resin kit some years ago. THe Dragon kit is much more detailed than the resin one and IMO is a good kit. I'm also thinking to purchase just the howitzer. It is the same kit and in my Bison I instructions there is a slight mix-up as it shows you to affix some parts that are for the towed howitzer!

Application of the light chippings & scratches

 

[Iron Mike]

Re:Bison I

Very nice, Noel! Are you planning to add some red oxide showing through in some places for deeper scratches?

 

[G Cooper]

Hi Noel.

That is looking better and better. I must admit that I like the German 2 and 3 color camos, but I really like the single color paint jobs. Because to me anyways, it really gives you an opportunity to play with the tone and shades. And yours is really starting to do that. In fact, I have been thinking about doing something in just one color to try some of that color modulation combined with a dose of preshadeing. I can hardly wait now to see what you do next.

Great work Noel, I'm still amazed at the variety of weapon systems the Germans had. Love the light chipping and scrapes.
