Tamiya M41 Bulldog

Zoom in on this one.

 

[urumomo]

What am I zooming in on ?
How perfect it is ? ;D


so you painted them OD , then used blue-tac or something to mask the wheel , yeah ?

 

[RKrebs]

Exactly.

You said I got them at the wrong angle. I assumed you wanted to see something up close specifically.

 

[urumomo]

LOL .
I was joking about their arrangement in relation to the lines on the cutting mat

You should be close to completion on this M41 , no ?

 

[RKrebs]

Getting there. I still have to finish some of the small parts, clear coat it and also decide if I want to attempt to weather it or just go for the fresh off the assembly line look.

 

[RKrebs]

All ready to seal with Future.




Did a bit of dry brushing. I didn't want to do to much, and may have not done enough...but we will see.




And clear applied.


I am digging the brushed effect.

Now to just let the clear seal for a day or so and I will start on the pin washing. I am just going for the subtle look as opposed to the heavily weathered diorama look. We will see. I am pretty happy with it so far.

 

[RKrebs]

Huh....I am not sure why my pictures are sideways.

 

[urumomo]

Wow ;D

I hope you're happy with it ,,
Great job on the dry-brushing .

I assume it had a two-piece barrel ?
How'd that come out ?

Cheers ,
Uru
& Happy New Year

 

[RKrebs]

Yes, it had a 2 piece barrel. I am actually very please with it. I glued it together and it lined up pretty good. A little pit of 1200 grit sanding and it looks like a single piece barrel. I even filed down and cleaned up the lines on the flash suppressor.

Trying to show the pin wash. I really need to set up a proper lighting booth to take pictures in.



Not the best picture. I will take another shot of it tomorrow. Also I am not sure I have the right color for the wash. It is a burnt Umber with a touch of black mixed in. Perhaps not enough black. Not too sure yet.

 

[urumomo]

You using oils or acrylic for the wash ?

It looks pretty red from here --- not nec. wrong 8)

she could be driving around in that color soil .

The thing looks really good , Ron ;D
you're a quick study ...

[RKrebs]

Oil. Tomorrow I am going to add more black to the wash and do it again. ;D

Weathering.....not as easy as I thought.

 

[NecronautDrummer]

Looking good so far! You can do different colours and shades of streaking to help achieve that depth you're after.

 

[urumomo]

Look fine .
just needs to be evened-out .

Are you working from photo references ?

What exactly are you trying to reproduce ? Soil , corrosion , both .. ?

 

[urumomo]

Finished ? ;D

Wash looked great. I don't use black for my washes on tanks. They play in the dirt so burnt umber is good looks like dirt piled in the creases
