Re:update, my first hard edge
Tx for your comments lady and gentlemen.
Yep Randy, the diorama is in the making. You can see some of the pics of it here: http://www.tanksandthings.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=53&func=view&catid=12&id=1299[]
in which thread I was actually supposed to post this update
Dave, the colors, exclusively Tamiya: Each layer was mixed with a drop of x22 Clear and thinned with Tamiya's laquer thinner (with yellow cap).
I first sprayed Red Brown XF64 all over
Next was a layer of Dark Yellow XF60 mixed with Buff XF 57.
I lighted this leayer 4 times, first with more Buff, than with Deck Tan XF55 and finally with Gloss white X2.
Obviously the top received more light paint than the bottom parts
Green wss made of Dark Green XF61 & Field Gey XF65. The subsequent 4 lighter shades were obtained by adding first Flat Flesh XF15 in subsequest higher quantities to this mixture and the final time received some X2 again.
The brown started simply with Red Brown XF64, lighted 4x times by adding XF15 to the the XF64, wrapping it up with a drop of X2 in the final layer.
Lot of work, and perhaps I could have done it in a easier way, but this was a first attempt to take it that far.
