Pin washes
Added 2024-02-18 00:55:29 +0000 UTCGood late evening, or early morning, my friends, I managed to finish the pin washing stage the other day, and it's already starting to tie the finish together! I used a regular Dark Brown Wash for Green Vehicles because I thought a more subtle approach would be nice for a change.
Up next are sheeps and rust tones, and although it seemed like a daunting job, there are actually not that many surfaces that could be chipped heavily! So maybe the next update will be with the model ready for detail painting and stowage! :)

Just watched your video of the build . What strikes me is your constant build quality . Although obvious to some I think it’s amazing the quality of every build . Enjoyed watching you making wood . I never stop soaking up the information Martin 🙏🏻

2024-02-18 13:02:37 +0000 UTCThis is looking absolutely incredible. The wood just adds so much visual texture and that camo on the turret looks wonderful. It looks like you haven't chipped yet. I was watching your old Sherman video again for inspiration and I noticed you had mentioned the controversy over weather sherman paint chipped. I have reference photos of some Shermans with chipped paint and it definitely chipped to that pale yellowish green color. Can share if needed as I took the photos myself.

2024-02-18 03:47:26 +0000 UTCYea this is looking good. I just saw the build video on this subject and can not wait to see the paint and weathering video. Keep it going. Love to see what you do with the diorama. I will keep checking to see what you do.

2024-02-18 03:23:20 +0000 UTCI won’t pester you for further details, but it’ll be interesting to see how big you plan on making the base for it.

2024-02-18 01:09:27 +0000 UTCSaipan is a very specific island because it doesn't have the traditional jungle foliage you'd see on other islands, and the areas with higher elevation on the north side of the island actually look quite similar to a traditional European forest! But it'll be fun to sneak in a small palm tree in there somewhere.

2024-02-18 01:06:48 +0000 UTCLookin good. I am currently working on a VW bug commission of sorts myself with lots of photo etch greenery and some paper ones as well. I’m waiting dubiously for the actual vignette for this one as it should be full of south sea foliage !
