The model has now had a light filter followed by a couple of darker pin washes to pick out the details. Next will be some streaking I think. I've also added some concrete to the base and for a different look tamped down the still wet mixture with the edge of a long ruler. This has resulted in a rougher texture which should show up better after some weathering.
I'm getting more & more intrigued by that concrete texture paste, Pete - it looks just like the real thing. The Leo's coming along fine, I'm sure it'll go down a storm on your trip to Belgium.
Cheers chaps, Chris, yes that concrete is very good, easy to use and acrylic based so easy clean up too. Marc, the markings should fade down a fair bit later with a bit more weathering and a matt coat.

ReplyDeleteThe weathering is coming along nicely. However, the decals still look too bright it seems. Do you plan to fade them a bit?
