Holger KranichPlease do not wonder, i stole the decals from a Leopard 2...😢 Those from the box where only brittle dust...

Holger KranichIts by far not finished but the fit was really cool, especially the running gear and this kit is well engineered. Only the kit tracks are horrible stiff... Thank you Hunter!

Kerry COXHolger, am I imagining things, or did you base coat this beast with 'steel' before the green. ?

Holger KranichHi Kerry! No, i post-shaded the green and gave it a (too heavy) washing. I like the result, single colored vehicles are not easy to paint...😉

Kerry COXYes Choppa, and all armoured vehicles have that 'metallic' look from their first day in the units, and this is one that looks like it's been around a while, like she has had a few hands and boots on her. :-/

Clifford KeeslerHow do you weather a tank that is finished in Armour sand? What do you use?

Holger KranichHunter, if you can answer, please do because i dont know what "Armour sand" is...
Does it mean, painted in a desert camo, Cliffy?

Hunter CumminsHolger, I will as best I can and yes holger it is desert camo, its the color modern U.S tanks and vehicals use. He is doing an m1a1 abrams tank from desert storm

Hunter CumminsThanks clifford,
So, a medium brown wash , then do a tan/dusty colprd filter for dust, then very light chipping with a very dark brown acrylic paint (or what ever kind you use) then then apply the dust filter used before on the upper parts of the tank, and apply it on the tracks and the running gear, if you want any more effects, just ask, all of these products come as a set with the correct paint color for the tank itself aswell by Mig Ammo
