Those are not the metal tracks, I am still slowly working on assembling them for another T26.

Are those the metal tracks (did you finish them in the end?)?

I followed Mike Rinaldi for a while and got a couple of his Tank Art books (out of production now I think) where he went through his process to get similar results. A lot of the oil paint rendering etc are things he got right into. Phil S from FW is another who really shows off wha you can do if you have the patience to really go to town on a kit.LWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769460904008281915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-55358384355098300292018-06-29T10:45:58.768-07:002018-06-29T10:45:58.768-07:00Thanks!

I did allow each major step to dry for a few hours though (between base coat and oils, oils and pin wash, pin wash and dot filter, etc. I think the oilbrushers dry a little quicker than traditional canvas oils due to their formulation. If you tried to do everything in rapid succession, the repeated use of thinner might distrub the previous step, but if you space it out a little it shouldn't be an issue.Eric Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276836738624222147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-42488611678425106772018-06-29T09:07:09.569-07:002018-06-29T09:07:09.569-07:00Very nice!

The accumulated muck and skulls help to bring it more into the 40k look, and the painting is great.<br /><br />Did you seal the tank in between steps? e.g. between the original airbrushing and the oils, and then the oils before you did the textures?Lasgunpackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529298072677726064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-85587450039585533162018-06-29T08:51:44.935-07:002018-06-29T08:51:44.935-07:00Really well done the weathering really takes the m...Really well done the weathering really takes the model up a notch and adds so much character. Great job including the type of static grass used as well.
