Daimler AC MK I

Hi Mark.

fantastic looking model,i really like the filtering and washes,i really must get an airbrush.

Thanks Simon and Terry  

 

A bit more weathering - wet pastels around details and dry pastels on the lower area of the vehicle. To keep the pastels in place, I airbrushed copious amount of thinners which I think helped considerably. It is now on with detailing such as antennas, painting inside the upper hatch door, detailing equipment, BESA  - and also a figure at some point.

 

   

Nice work Mark

It is coming to an end though looking at the photo I still see things that have to be tweaked. And I still need a bridging number  .

 

 

One of the challenges of weathering a vehicle with equipment already attached to the vehicle is trying to reach those areas that are obscured by the equipment and gear but not necessarily out of view. I sometimes find it difficult to get behind and underneath the gear - and sometimes thinners from washes and filters can loosen the glue which keeps the  equipment and gear attached to the surface of the vehicle. So for this project, I wanted to weather the vehicle without any equipment at all and then once the model is weathered, I would separately weather the equipment and then attach to the model. 

 

This is the model weathered -  two filters, two pin-washes, one application of wet pastels and a light application of dry pastels - each application kept very subtle and conservative.

 

looking very good Mark!

Looking lovely Mark, I have to agree I prefer to leave the stowage off prior to weathering then add it on and blend it all in afterwards.

A bit more work on the weathering this evening. The bridging numbers came in today in the post so tomorrow I can add this and then clean up some details (BESA, antennas, gear straps etc..), finalize the dust and dirt then it'll be on to a figure and a small base.I may also turn the front wheels at a sharper angle to give it a bit more "weight".

 

I am impressed with this offering by Accurate Armour - compact, simple to assemble and little clean up.
