With the airbrush still loaded with the last of the buff, a little more thinner was added along with XF84 dark Iron and the tracks were then base coated

Will now paint all the tools prior to applying the pigments, catch you all soon, take care guys!

A little progress. The convoy light painted in situ on the sprue with clear blue ...

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 5:33 pm**

Initial wheel weathering;

1. The basic wheel following the painting and washes.

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 5:34 pm**

2. Light application of MIG Europe Dust added and set with white spirit

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 5:36 pm**

3. Once dry, Dark Mud added and again set with white spirit

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 5:37 pm**

4. Again, once dry, Russian Earth then added. Stains and oil leaks will be added later

Posted: **Wed Jul 09, 2014 7:45 pm**

Wheely boring update (continued)

5. Random staining achieved by applying multiple layers of neat white spirit and also very dilute washes - both in specific areas or zones, not all over the wheel

Posted: **Wed Jul 09, 2014 7:47 pm**

6. Then Mig oil and grease stain mixture added to taste. Thus completes a wheel

Posted: **Wed Jul 09, 2014 7:50 pm**

Jack block painted a buff colour (Vallejo) followed by successive washes in oils of sepia and raw umber until happy with the effect. The part is pre-grained so no need to muck about too much trying to create a wood effect.

The metal strips then painted German grey and picked out with graphite

Posted: **Wed Jul 09, 2014 7:53 pm**

excellent wheel weathering

Posted: **Wed Jul 09, 2014 7:54 pm**

Mono and binocular sights base painted with Vallejo shades of sand and khaki, chipped with German grey. Oil was of sepia then edged with graphite once dry. The sights were first painted silver, again Vallejo followed by Tamiya clear green

Posted: **Wed Jul 09, 2014 7:56 pm**

The vision blocks were tackled next, all painted with Vallejo camo black brown. The glass the represented by painting the small square silver then clear green

Posted: **Wed Jul 09, 2014 8:00 pm**

The rear decks tools were all painted using Vallejo and oil washes.

The weathering go the exhausts has started by first dry brushing the upper halves of the stacks with Humbrol 113 - the hood not been included as this will be dealt with slightly differently later.

Once dry the upper third of each stacked is then 'mapped' using Vallejo leather brown.

A light sepia wash then brings it to the stage seen in the image below. More weathering of the exhausts to follow, this is not their finished state

FANTASTIC!!

There are so many talented modellers at ISM now..
I never know what build to watch and follow where??

Well done Paul, she's one awesome Jagdpanther....
Weathering and chipping is excellent mate...
All the best..

Posted: **Sun Jul 20, 2014 8:24 pm**

Really fluffed the pigments, not to my liking at all. Pretty much the same method as the wheels albeit all three tones on a once then fixed with white spirit. I have had no time to spend on this, should have waited but every time I went by the bench just had to tinker here and snatch another minute there ..

Pigment applied prior to any stains and wear

So this is it right this very second. Built up the lower hull weathering and collating all the wheels. Tow cable painted and stuck into position.

Posted: **Mon Jul 21, 2014 1:36 am**

Top shelf work, mate.....definitely a center-piece!

Posted: **Mon Jul 21, 2014 4:23 am**

Those pigments on the lower hull are totally perfect Paul. Not a thing wrong with them bud.

I love that dunkelgelb painted tow cable buckle.

Posted: **Mon Jul 21, 2014 4:46 am**

this is beyond beautiful

ok, onto the tracks. If you recall they have been primed and base coated. Three pigment tones selected - i.e. the ones already used for the wheels

Gently apply the light tone, in this case European Earth, followed by picking out a few areas with the mid tone - dark mud

Posted: **Tue Jul 22, 2014 12:42 pm**

Then using the darkest tone - Russian Earth add this to the centre of the track run;

Once all in place use White Spirit or pigment fixer to set.

Use capillary action, don't disturb the pigments too much.

Tracks now in place.

Posted: **Tue Jul 22, 2014 1:34 pm**

Wooooooooow dude!!!!!!
That looks awesome..
Love the variations in tones

Posted: **Tue Jul 22, 2014 1:35 pm**

Oh Nice!!!!
That's great track work bud!!!

Posted: **Tue Jul 22, 2014 2:25 pm**

Awesome work Paul, loving those tracks
