Easter eggs... a little bit too early, but just in time!
Added 2024-03-15 18:56:06 +0000 UTCMy friends, here's a quick fun project I've been planning each year, but never found the time because I was always behind schedule.
I mean, it's just for laughs and giggles.... but I actually managed to learn something! For example, it was a good practice for OD, 4BO and German two-tone post-shading, I also had some more practice with the new AK inks (this time I even used white ink to highlight the German tactical number), and lastly, I managed to compare the quality of decals from Miniart, Dragon and Tamiya. And Miniart wins on all fronts!
I wasn't sure how to approach the weathering. Should I use every standard armor weathering technique? How would rust and mud look on eggs? But my plan was to keep it very simple, so ultimately I just added a bit of enamel wash to bring out the rough texture, and then a bit of speckling for those subtle dirt stains here and there.
And yes, I'll seriously make a video out of this 😂 It'll be a quick, 10-minute Easter special... and if everything goes as planned, you'll be getting 3 videos in a row. King Kong, Easter Eggs, and Saipan vignette!
I'm feeling absolutely busted after this week, so now I'm gonna lay down on the couch and read a book, and tomorrow I'm driving off to Prague for the weekend!
