Oh boy
Added 2021-01-28 17:11:03 +0000 UTCBehold the power of varnish! It toned the shading down a LOT! Note to self - add varnish into the paint every, single, time.
I'm sorry for the delayed update my friends, yesterday wasn't very productive. But the Panzer is now ready for the next stage, but first I want to wrap this progress into a video.
So what I did since the last update - painting small details with a light grey paint mixed from Vallejo, spraying all the stowage details in different colors, but just those that are made from metal because I wanted them to have the same satin finish like the tank. Then adding decals - I found some leftovers from an old Brummbar kit from Tristar (now re-boxed as Hobby Boss). This is going to be an unspecified tank as my decal options were very limited, it's gonna be one of those "unidentified unit, 1942" tanks πThe number 3 is smaller than the rest which makes it look more interesting in my opinion, irregular markings can be often seen on real tanks.
Finally I prepared the tracks by brushing them with VMS Black Track, again not following the official instructions as I wanted those "unwanted" tan spots which look awesome in my opinion, just like real dried mud!
So that's about it, I still haven't decided if I should go for heavy or lighter weathering. I really like the post-shading on this one, so maybe I should leave most of it visible, what do you think?
