Ok so here is the latest bit..and it's alotta bit

Well I don’t really have pics but I have been using those small cans of Flat Black Krylon from Hobby Lobby. I primed it black a week ago, and today sat down to work. Remember, I want to do this particular camo scheme:

Now I hope the rivet-counters will cut me slack here, mostly because this is the earliest model T-62, not the 1973 as shown in the pic. Also, I am taking considerable artistic license in painting in this scheme, but this is what I really wanted, so I went with it.

I dee-cided to roll with masking this. This would mean I had to think in terms not of lightest to darkest, but in fields (Least first, most last). To that end I first laid a light coat of Flat White, combines with some Ivory White, letting the black primer bleed thru for some simple moderation:

Next up came the masking. And what better way than to use Silly Putty!

So maybe I over-bought…. Any-hoo, I started cutting and rolling, cutting and rolling, and masking away. The fender and hull represent 1 solid hour, but the turret represents another 90 minutes on it’s own.

So I then went at it with some of my remaining Model Master Russian armor green, when I did again a small amount (Maybe too small) of modulation. All the above represented some 5 hours of time today, but when I unwrapped my prize, I have to say, ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!

So now it’s on to final assembly and detail paint on this butt-ugly tank. Let me know your non-rivet-counting thoughts, and thanks fer lookin’ in!

You can't have to much silly putty.
Looks great 👌
 
So it's been a bit, but with the summer semester giving me additional time, I was able to get something done on this today.

Basically final assembly, along with pin washes, some weathering washes on the top, and "mud" paint on the lower running gear.
