Beginners Group Build - Phase 1 - Ground Vehicles

Thank you Harvey

regards bob

Evening all

An update, had a go at adding mud splashes along the side, rear and front of the hull with a loaded brush and bursts of air from the air brush, also mudded up the wheels. Practiced on a old hull and paper and used a lot of stuff, using the AK mud set I also added mud onto the tracks

Added smoke pigments onto the ends of the exhausts and fixed with thinners, after the photos I have had a first go at using dust pigments on the upper hull. Will check in the morning to see if its been a disaster, I did not use fixer so I can hopefully alter if it goes pear shaped

Some of the mud looks out of scale and might need tweeking, otherwise looks not to bad to me anyway might add some more rust pigments onto the spare tracks.

Looking good to me, don't think you'll need to do much tweaking

Tim L, many thanks

Tim appreciated

I have gone from being a wimp when it comes to weathering to throwing almost everything at it, will add some fuel and oil spills and might have a go at rain marks

thanks again regards

Hi Johan, hope you are well

Many thanks for the kind words, "No more beginners group build for you" but i still have lots and lots of learning to do, still got to get to grips with PE for one

To be fair the help on the site has been tremendous and the FAQ book is excellent

regards Bob

Johan,

Have to agree with you, Bob C's work is way out of beginners range.

My reading is it was a matter of confidence... the results speak for themselves!

Cheers

Harvey

Very kind Harvey

You are right, confidence is a big, big part but as i have discovered just practice on paper or scrap hulls. I must have spent 3 hours playing with mud before moving to the Panther

I have been pleased with the results so far but have a long way to go

many thanks

bob

The jouney is the thing Robert!
