Chipping underway
Added 2024-11-22 20:52:59 +0000 UTCMy friends, I applied the washes, highlighted the small details, did all the steel chips and now I'm applying the rust tones with oil paints. This process is much more fun than I remember! Of course, more chipping will follow once the rust tones are in place - chipped weld beads and Zimmerit!
Just a quick update before the weekend... I'm working on something else that's model-related, and I'll show it to you once it's all ready :)))

Martin, I'm curious if you ever use pigment powder. Thanks.

2024-11-28 14:12:16 +0000 UTCYeah, that's why I'm not sure if there would be even any damage (besides the obvious, oh no, my tank is on its roof, that's probably bad). Anyway, at least you could call the diorama "You can't park there, mate!"

2024-11-28 07:19:18 +0000 UTCThat's an interesting observation! I didn't notice any specific chipping in the historical photos apart from the torn running gear and some missing parts on the hull. Even the spare tracks stayed in place on one example I used as my main inspiration.

2024-11-27 22:44:19 +0000 UTCYes, Germans used oxide primer on all of their tanks. I mixed it from the same colors as I used on the Ferdinand a few months ago - flat red, flat brown and buff :)

2024-11-23 11:41:42 +0000 UTCI think that you're already a fantastic modeller and you explain what you are doing on each section of your builds

2024-11-23 01:28:30 +0000 UTCPlease advise what did you use for the Red Oxide color. Were all German Tanks Painted this color as they came off the assembly line

2024-11-22 23:27:29 +0000 UTCLovely, the chips at the front of the hull really make ot look like this cat got dragged over a bunch of rubble, stones and vegetaion. Do you plan to add some more specific chipping where the bomb blast hit the tank? I'm not even sure the blast itself would do chipping damage but some rubble would surely hit the tank.
