Tamiya 1/48 PanzerKampfwagen II

[Gambit]

I haven't visited in awhile and I started this project about a month ago in early October not knowing about this campaign. If I don't qualify for the campaign please let me know Mod so I will park this elsewhere? :hmmm

I have been on a "airplane-binge" for the past 2 years; so this is my first completed tank for that long...I took time off from my other projects to do this because I was stuck in a builders-block. I call this my "caviar" project because there will be no fit issues to worry about and it is going to be a relaxing build.

Used Tamiya Weathering Sticks on the tank and it's good! Also tried using oils instead of enamel for the rust streaks.

Enough talk, pictures are below :P







It's been fun doing this.. thanks for looking

Nice build, and really nice weathering but since we didn't get a start and progress photos it's not for the Blitzkreg. Plenty of time to start one though, and plenty of other campaigns going on!

Moving this to Ground Power.

Hi Andy, I used German Grey from Mr Hobby (lacquer paint) for the whole vehicle and then lighten the German Grey with Sail (about 4:1 ratio, also from Mr Hobby) to apply some of the flat surfaces in my own interpretation of "color modulation"..

I use this book from Blackstar COLOR MODULATION TECHNIQUES: ZENITHAL LIGHT by Javier Soler as reference.
