Prior to paint... Big effort constructing this monster..
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/9/8/1/1630981-64925-35-720.jpg)
Primed with Mr Surfacer 1500 Black...

![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/9/8/3/1630983-64925-49-720.jpg)
Priming took some time with all the nooks and crannies to the vehicle and rollers...
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/9/8/5/1630985-64925-32-720.jpg)
Hull textures looking nice...Not too coarse on the hull being a modern vehicle...
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/9/8/6/1630986-64925-49-720.jpg)
Getting better at welding... It was difficult to see the welds when creating them as the colour of the plastic and epoxy putty used to create the welds were very similar...
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/9/8/9/1630989-64925-46-720.jpg)
Very tight down between the fenders and the sides...

![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/0/4/6/1631046-64925-16-720.jpg)
Base coat if Tamiya XF73... Darkest green to.commence post shading...
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/0/4/7/1631047-64925-84-720.jpg)
I accidentally bought Gunze pure Lacquer instead of their Aqueous line to mix with tamiya... So have to make a quick change in the paint plan... Dohh..!!
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/0/4/8/1631048-64925-36-720.jpg)
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/1/2/0/1631120-64925-84-720.jpg)
First layer of post shading... 40:60 Mix of XF26 Deep Green XF67 NATO Green as the mid tone...

![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/1/1/9/1631119-64925-96-720.jpg)

![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/1/2/1/1631121-64925-40-720.jpg)

![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/2/2/0/1631220-64925-12-720.jpg)
Gradient highlights with the final mix of the previous post shade with Deck Tan...
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/2/2/1/1631221-64925-43-720.jpg)
Highlights purposefully over exaggerated for oil filters and rendering...
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/2/2/3/1631223-64925-76-720.jpg)
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/2/2/4/1631224-64925-33-720.jpg)
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/1/7/7/1632177-64925-23-720.jpg)
Panzer Putty dribbled all over... Word of warning don't let this settle for too long... Can bury itself into tight crevices making it a little tricky to remove... Especially to delicate parts...
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/1/7/5/1632175-64925-83-720.jpg)
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/1/7/6/1632176-64925-46-720.jpg)
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/1/7/8/1632178-64925-73-720.jpg)
Base colour of light sand sprayed... This was Light Stone with XF55 Deck Tan to desaturate and and lightning..
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/1/7/9/1632179-64925-23-720.jpg)
First layer of Postshading... Base colour lightened with XF2 White by about 30%...
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/1/8/4/1632184-64925-51-720.jpg)
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/1/8/7/1632187-64925-48-720.jpg)

Second layer of Post shading... Additional 50% XF2 White added to the previous mix... Being Yellow it was overly tinted with white and edge highlights were done...
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/1/8/9/1632189-64925-86-720.jpg)
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/1/9/0/1632190-64925-67-720.jpg)
Panzer Putty carefully removed... My grills will need to be reglued but other than that, no damage... Pheeeww..!
![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/1/9/1/1632191-64925-10-720.jpg)
Will be allplying a yellowish green oil filter over this... This is where over doing the lightness of colours comes into play... Keeping bright and cheerful then applying a filter helps dial in the colour without making the model too dark...
![Album image #36 Album image #36](/albums/img/1/9/2/1632192-64925-44-720.jpg)

Demarcations came out pretty well...
![Album image #39 Album image #39](/albums/img/1/9/4/1632194-64925-57-720.jpg)
2 colours down... 1 to go...

![Album image #41 Album image #41](/albums/img/2/4/3/1632243-64925-32-720.jpg)

![Album image #43 Album image #43](/albums/img/3/6/9/1632369-64925-19-720.jpg)
Abt502 Oils mixed into a Yellow Green filter...
![Album image #44 Album image #44](/albums/img/3/6/7/1632367-64925-65-720.jpg)
Love filters and the subtle shift in richness...

![Album image #48 Album image #48](/albums/img/4/3/6/1633436-64925-81-720.jpg)
![Album image #49 Album image #49](/albums/img/4/3/7/1633437-64925-53-720.jpg)
Almost there with the pin wash...
![Album image #50 Album image #50](/albums/img/8/5/5/1633855-64925-84-720.jpg)
Pin wash finished..
![Album image #51 Album image #51](/albums/img/8/5/3/1633853-64925-50-720.jpg)
I think I'll give this a Tan Oil Filter as another unifying layer... Then maybe some variations to individual panels to highlight demarcations between things...
