M4A3E2 JUMBO A PAINTING SBS

[MrT]

I started this Tamiya Jumbo while doing painting demonstrations for my club. I decided to go ahead finish it. I started by painting the whole thing flat black and then over spraying that with olive drab. I did some shading with lighter shade of OD and then did an overall oil wash of olive green.

Oil wash.

I moved on to the next step. On the turret using the same color that I used for the shading I highlighted certain raised details with a brush.

Next I applied another oil wash of olive green and raw umber. You can see how the wash tones down the brightness of the highlighted areas.

Here's how it looks when dry.

Next I go on to use the out of favor drybrushing to bring more details.

I Did the same treatment to the upper hull as the turret. Once the lower hull is done I will apply a coat of future.

Thanks for looking in and questions and comments are always welcome.

Did some, not much but really did make high spots pop.

Out of favor dry brushing? Didn't know that was the case.

The results speak highly of your techniques.

Well let's say it's not promoted as much as all the pigments, modulating, chipping, rusting, and muddying of everything.

Thanks!
