Forgot the road wheels, stayed a little more conservative with them.

Hey, I like it! Looks like you nailed it to me. When does the filtering start?

Rembrandt! :laugh: :rotf More like Otis Campbell with an air brush!

Here's what a couple washes did, I sealed the tank with a couple coats of Games Workshop Purity Seal and then started with The Filter Green for Light Green.

Right away, it took that white edge off the Shine that was bugging me.

I hit it with the blow dryer to force the filter dry so I could add another color, this time, Brown for Dark Green.

This added depth and brought out some of the texture.

I'm going to let this dry for a bit, then I'll add some Grey for Bright Green in some areas. Feeling better about the colors already. :idonno
 
Hi Van Gogh![at this pace I will be soon running out of Dutch masters] :laugh:

Looks to me that it is just coming out fine!
Filters are best done in several layers. :)

Greetings,Ron.

I have that set too, James. I used it on my Face It StuG IV. Try it, you'll like it. You guys are making me feel a lot better, I was really sweating that last light layer. If I had it to do again, I'd use the Shine more sparingly. Pin washes yet to come, still need to let it dry and get the markings on. :drinks
 
Thanks, all!! Just in case you got bored, found this for your edification.


There will be an update in the near future. Lotta action left in these keys! (y)
 
As promised, a brief update.

Using a page from Tony Lee's playbook, I dunked the tracks in Black 4 Tracks, then washed them with Burnt Sienna.
