Gulf War Bradley

Thanks Chris, maybe it's the difference in years of fading in the hot sun.

Remember too that the colour of the terrain can cast a hue onto the colour of a vehicle. The image of that truck has green grass and a green truck next to it. That can fool the eyes as well as give an actual green tinge to the sand colour on the truck.

Are you painting this as a 1st Gulf War vehicle or as a 2nd Gulf War one? Perhaps the paint on the 2nd Gulf War vehicles hada greenish cast to it? If so then your's is right. VBG LOL

Cheers

Thoughts?

I think I need to get decals on before I get much further.

Great job on the Bradley so far. Good work MP!
Looking forward to seeing it all done.

I think I would highlight some more of the raised detail and add some darker pin washes before clear coat and decals....but that's just me and I don't know how your brand of washes work. I use oil paint.

Keep on keeping on...

Bob, from here it looks like it has moss starting to grow on it.

Looking at all the pictures, what I see is a sand color with some darker brownish dirt over it .

That was the plan yes.

Chris I see what you're talking about, we'll have it covered up some how. Maybe a tarp. :frantic :tomato

I think the green tint is fine for now. I would add MOAR chocolate colored pinwashes. Don't be afraid to let them blend out onto panels either!

I really like this photo:

Look at all the colors on those panels...

The one on the front almost looks like it has some graffiti on it.

:hmmm

Which one you talking about?

Thanks John, that's what I was thinking, more of this color i'm working with, I don't like the way the rear end looks, will address that, too much green there.

I get the dark dirt then some light dusting will be coming (and a pin wash!)

Just think how those side little blaster square McBobs would look modulated...

This may sound silly, but if it has that greenish tinge in real as well as the photo you could make it out to have just swam the Euphrates or Tigris and got pond scum on it. Just saying.
Otherwise looks good to me

:hmmm , Looks too yellow/green still to my eye, Bob. I'll defer to the other guys and trust that a brown pin wash will neutralise the tone you've got there. Will you be adding and dust/pigments after the decals ??

How can you go wrong with Mike Rinaldi?

Thanks John, think I've progressed a little far for this treatment but on the early one i'm building for this campaign I'll give it a shot.

Ian.

Yep, sure will. Yeah the back end is way too green.

Maybe its just moss from standing too long
