I am trying out different methods and...Interesting. I am trying out different methods and yours sound very interesting. Just need to get a few more Vallejos. No factory nearby, but a fully stocked shop on the way home from work.<br />I'll let you know when I've finish the next one. Or possibly the Pz1 will be first.Thomas Nissvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635793244352536541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932881472640239585.post-17290005413476224962013-05-04T22:21:29.377+02:002013-05-04T22:21:29.377+02:00Nice painting, Thomas!!
Vallejo's 894 Cam.Oli...Nice painting, Thomas!!<br /><br />Vallejo's 894 Cam.Olive Green...? Hey, pretty nice alternative. I shall give it a try at the time of finishing my Spanish Republican T-26 company (http://soldadets.blogspot.com/2013/04/nou-projecte-t-26-republicans.html).<br /><br />I'm admittedly old fashioned at painting. My own painting schema consisted of:<br /><br />1 - Base coating with a 50% mix of 894 Russian Green and 967 Olive Green --Vallejo, of course; their factory lies some 17 km. away from home :)<br /><br />2 - Shading with a 50% mix of [894 Russian Green + a drop of Black] with 855 Black Glaze --all this, dilluted in water, at more or less a 50% in turn. This is the stage where I am right now.<br /><br />3 - Next step had to be highlighting, using once again the mix of (1), but I might use your suggested 894 Cam.Olive Green instead --perhaps cleared with Olive Green too?<br /><br />4 - After applying some dirt to the whole, my last step uses to be a light overall drybrushing with Drab Earth, as to simulate dust effect. It also gives some added harshness to the green base, that I do like a lot.<br /><br />As you can see, quite of an old-fashioned painting method :)Soldadetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287249675712055860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932881472640239585.post-75720107827457613022013-05-04T21:50:50.156+02:002013-05-04T21:50:50.156+02:00Looking good.
