Winter Tiger

 

Lost all previous pics. This is after hairspray/toothbrush with XF2 and a oil paint pin wash. Need to stipple some white back on overbrushed bits. 

I'm waiting on some iron polishing powder I ordered, so I'll give that a go. It looks brilliant on Al's tiger. 

finished off the exhausts with Humbrol rust powder, Vallejo light rust paint and Vallejo rust wash. Also rubbed it with a pencil and dabbed soot from Tamiya set B 

Added a mix of Humbrol mud, Mig Euro Earth and Vallejo Light Sienna pigments.  

I tried out Uschi Iron polishing powder on the right exhaust cowl and rubbed it with Tamiya rust B. Not convinced on the result 

Tracks and front plate had a combo mix of pigments applied and a touch of Vallejo Thick mud. Rusted up the tracks and shackles with Humbrol rust powder. Dry brushed track edges with X-11 and dulled down with a pencil 

 

Vallejo black wash, a pencil rub and a dab of Vallejo rust wash on the cables. More Thick mud and pigments on the tracks 

A before shot after white-wash and a light oil pin wash 

Tried Uschi Iron polishing powder on the manlet applied with VMS enml 2.0 binder. Rubbed with cotton bud, then smeared in some Tamiya rust B.
Not convinced again. Think I could have achieved the same result with a pencil. Maybe I should have dry brushed the powder on, for that mottled effect. Still learning the technique. Your thoughts are very much welcomed on this 

More Iron polishing powder and Tamiya B rust. Also the same pigment mix with VMS 2.0 binder. Only just tried this stuff and love it already. So much control with how much dirt applied.  

More of the same. I havent Clear varnished it yet. Not sure if I've over done it on the mud and rusty metal. Again your thoughts are very much welcomed. I can always rub it off as its been gloss coated over the white-wash.  

So the turret is pretty much done, a touch up here and there. Just the body to finish off. 

I dont like the hatch interior paint effect
