Brokeneagle
Master at Arms
I built and painted this Tamiya mk4 J (early) some 17 years ago. I have broken bits off, stored the pieces and recently put it back together to be used as a wreck on a flat bed. It is bsically OOTB except for a few minor 'add-ons' and still needs some fixes here and there plus a touch of PE, so IT IS ONLY 70% AND REQUIRES MORE CLEANUP.
Basically I felt like fooling around with some weathering as I find it very relaxing.
The guards have been thinned and I will replace the missing turret armour with damaged PE. The paint remains unchanged in Acrylics (chips and cammo), I only added the darker burns staining and the primer comming through in places.
I kept this wreck because the paint job and chips has always pleased me and so I kept it on the shelf as a red brown and yellow cammo reference all these years.It willnow get a new lease of life on a train.
Hope you find it interesting.........

This one shows the tank before the red primer effects were put on.I had only progressed with the shadows, dirt and slightly burnt look. The Primer was done with oils then finished with primer pigment from MIG. The effect was achieved by using a brush with nearly all the oil paint taken off and the area worked over and over for about 30 mins.
