Post by gaz45 »

Made a start on my first armor

Image

Image

So here goes got the tub all glued and the wheels on never fitted so many wheels before let alone paint that many

Image

Image

Image

Painted with humbrol 94 matt brown yellow
Image

Image

Then tried to dirty them up a bit with some thinned revell 94 leather brown

Image

might of gone a little ott but still learning

Image

next the tracks i gave them a base coat of tamiya xf-1 flat black

Image

Image

then some more of the thinned leather brown on the outside and slightly thicker on the inside

Image

Image

then finally dry brushed wit tamiya xf-56 metallic grey

Good stuff mate. I had the exact same kit as my first armour and probably the best to start with too
