Turret textures...
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/3/6/7/1479367-64925-34-720.jpg)
A lot of nooks and crannies to get into so rather than my usual post shading of hitting regions locally, I opted to give it a solid base coat...
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/3/6/4/1479364-64925-74-720.jpg)
Base coat of Tamiya XF67 NATO Green...

Road wheels received the same base colour...
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/3/6/6/1479366-64925-88-720.jpg)
Applying what I learnt from the Whippet build I'm going much brighter... Dialing the colours up from the start with what would be considered as it's mid tone...
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/3/7/4/1479374-64925-22-720.jpg)
Post shading the turret... Thus was a concoction of tamiya paints... XF61 NATO green... XF 21 Sky... XF4 Yellow green... XF49 Khaki in roughly a 4:4:2:1 Ratio respectively...
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/3/7/3/1479373-64925-72-720.jpg)

Gradient Highlights done..!! Went to the point were the paint was more XF55 Deck Tan than 4BO...
![Album image #42 Album image #42](/albums/img/5/1/8/1479518-64925-36-720.jpg)
![Album image #43 Album image #43](/albums/img/5/1/7/1479517-64925-51-720.jpg)

![Album image #47 Album image #47](/albums/img/5/2/2/1479522-64925-29-720.jpg)
Love how simple filters are and can restore saturation to colours... Another opportunity to create visual interest..
![Album image #48 Album image #48](/albums/img/5/2/8/1479528-64925-72-720.jpg)
To help unify the starkness of the gradient highlights, olive green, ochre, light blue grey and faded green oils were mixed into a filter...
![Album image #49 Album image #49](/albums/img/5/2/9/1479529-64925-90-720.jpg)
![Album image #50 Album image #50](/albums/img/5/3/0/1479530-64925-21-720.jpg)

Oil filters complete... I had to dust a little mid tone over as I don't have a decent yellow in amongst my oil paint collection... I must remedy this...
![Album image #55 Album image #55](/albums/img/9/2/1/1479921-64925-84-720.jpg)
Track and Wheel assembly masked using Panzer Putty... This was by far the easiest and quickest way to paint the base colour XF63 to the tracks and rubber elements...
![Album image #56 Album image #56](/albums/img/9/2/5/1479925-64925-84-720.jpg)
Track and wheel assembly base colour done... From here on in I'm using a dollop of panzer putty when painting track assemblies...
![Album image #57 Album image #57](/albums/img/9/2/3/1479923-64925-42-720.jpg)
Oil pin wash of ABT502 sepia commenced...

![Album image #63 Album image #63](/albums/img/9/3/1/1479931-64925-24-720.jpg)
Painted and chipped insignia band... 2 coats of Chipping fluid then XF1 White was sprayed... Using a thin piece of tamiya tape I very roughly outlined the band just for overspread reasons and to give me a line to work with...
![Album image #64 Album image #64](/albums/img/9/3/2/1479932-64925-15-720.jpg)
Removed the rough mask and gently rubbed away at the edges with water and a small brush...

![Album image #66 Album image #66](/albums/img/9/8/4/1479984-64925-49-720.jpg)
After a weekends effort...Couldn't help myself... Had to put it together to see how she looks...
![Album image #67 Album image #67](/albums/img/8/1/5/1480815-64925-47-720.jpg)
Oil rendering begins... ABT502 oils used - Olive green, burnt umber, Sand yellow, and white were used to create additional tonal variations...
![Album image #68 Album image #68](/albums/img/8/1/6/1480816-64925-86-720.jpg)
![Album image #69 Album image #69](/albums/img/8/1/7/1480817-64925-75-720.jpg)
![Album image #70 Album image #70](/albums/img/8/1/8/1480818-64925-31-720.jpg)
Vajello paints used for highlighting the details... I think I used a mix of Deck Tan, RLM02 and Green sky... For the smallest details I added a Yellow Green to the mix to brighten things more
![Album image #71 Album image #71](/albums/img/8/1/9/1480819-64925-31-720.jpg)

![Album image #74 Album image #74](/albums/img/1/0/0/1482100-64925-66-720.jpg)
Playing with oils... Haven't got much experience with these... But I now know why some modellers rave on about them...
![Album image #75 Album image #75](/albums/img/1/0/1/1482101-64925-45-720.jpg)
Additional contrast... Shadows... Exposed Edges... Deep crevices... Dirt passes... All with oils...
![Album image #76 Album image #76](/albums/img/1/0/2/1482102-64925-71-720.jpg)
Oils are very cool..
![Album image #77 Album image #77](/albums/img/4/6/0/1483460-64925-22-720.jpg)
Localised Sponge chipping with Vajello German Camo Black Brown to specific areas of high wear and tear... Then light rust washes blended over to subdue...
![Album image #78 Album image #78](/albums/img/4/6/1/1483461-64925-86-720.jpg)
Streaking with Raw Umber and Buff... And pretty well whatever colour that was on the pallete... lo

Texture to the lower hull... Delivery came today so getting to try out a new product for this... So far it's not too bad and blends better than the colour variant... AK's Texture Earth Neutral...
![Album image #95 Album image #95](/albums/img/2/9/4/1486294-64925-64-720.jpg)

![Album image #99 Album image #99](/albums/img/7/6/1/1487761-64925-14-720.jpg)
Opted to do a something a little different from finishing off the T34... Rusted Plate... Making me think about the next project...

Is this the new 4BO that you are doing? Looking at the various possible shades that seemed to match yours. 🙂 tapatalk.com/groups/..ivalent-t322004.html

![](/profiles/img/64925-582-s.jpg)
Not too sure which 4BO it is Jen..! Lol... I don't get too hung up of colour accuracy... I'm more of a stylised modeller and have learnt to dial things up dramatically... I can then easily control things with filters to hit the sweet spot... But in saying this I do use colour swatches as a starting point... But it's not too far off what you sent in your link...
27 May 2023, 05:15
![](/profiles/img/64925-582-s.jpg)
Cheers Mathias... Hopefully that's the plan...! Lol... First time playing with 4BO so it's a little foreign to me... I hope I can do it justice...

Came out great. Lots of depth to the paintwork. Kit looks lots better than the old Tamiya version too.

Thanks John... Post shading and Sepia pin wash for that grimy look...

Great artistry is being display here. Also loving the realistic hand painted stripes.

Thanks Mr James... Amazing what chipping fluid can do to your shaky painted lines... Lol

What a beauty, thank you so much for sharing color mixes!
How did you find the kit? Did you like it?
6 June 2023, 17:20
![](/profiles/img/64925-582-s.jpg)
Cheers Cortex... It's almost there mate... No problems sharing mate... It's just as much for myself so I can refer back to it... The kit isn't too bad... There's a few issues with it but may have been just my kit... Don't pay too much for it tho like I did... Lol Maybe the new border models kit would prove to be the better choice depending on the price...
7 June 2023, 08:40
![](/profiles/img/15930-829-s.png)
Thanks Eddy for the feedback really appreciated, I was about to order it for USD 42.0! Are the issues that bad?
7 June 2023, 20:01
![](/profiles/img/64925-582-s.jpg)
Hey Cortex... The kit is pretty good... I can get it here in Australia for 54AUD... At that price point it's well worth it... But I was impulsive and bought it from my local hobby shop with an overinflated price.. I understand Border Models are releasing their T34/85 but with 5 resin figures, metal barrel and so forth... It may prove to be the better offering...
Have a look at the build portion of this and see what you think... Hope it helps...

Thanks Gary... I'm contemplating a repaint of the earth colours but was a good subject to learn from...
