Hello Guys, Thanks for posting.
The paint process was a test for artistic reasons on working with new techniques (For me) such as chipping and streaks, so this kit will be based on artistic weathering only for now.
I wanted to try heavy and moderate chipping, combined withe rust streaks, vallejo new washes and AK products, and also the "border" technique as to paint the border of the chipped area a lighter color to achieve depth, wich turned out great.
As the wheel and rubber, it's also a test for pigments, the actual color is Tire black from gunze, and it looks nice up close. The weathering on the rubber band on that wheel is now repainted and will try some new approach closer to life like colors.
The wear of the rubber was made using extensive hours of dremmel tool, x-acto and extra thin glue (Dentist product called JET, a two-part liquid and powder to make resin and molds, I use the liquid part to solder the plastic)
I will now base the whole tank on the same artistic approach for weathering, just to clear this one aout and start a new model with all I have learned here and tested.
Please keep those comments, and will post some more pics of more parts as I go along.
Thanks you, feedback is important,
Regards
Julian
