More
resin models from Frontline,
this time the French Hotchkiss H35.
The
pieces was placed in water and machine-wash for about an hour, to get rid of the mould release.
Lots
of bubbles and pits on the models, so quite a lot of preliminary work before I
could start painting. Since I bought these I have seen that it is possible to
buy these tanks in plastic, and I really think that would have been preferable,
as the quality is somewhat lacking in these resin pieces.
Colours used (Vallejo unless otherwise noted):
Base
coat - 978 Dark Yellow
Green
stripes – 894 Camouflage Olive Green
Borders
– 980 Black Green
Exhaust
– 302 Dark Rust
Tracks
– Citadel Tin Bitz drybrushed with Citadel Chainmail
Washed
with Citadel Devlan Mud overall and Citadel Black ink on springs.
Dusted
with MIG pigments – P023 Black Smoke around the exhaust and P234 Rubble Dust
and P029 Brick Dust overall.

A
farewell to Donald Featherstone, who has passed away.
Very nice, but aren't you supposed to be painting LRDG? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm on it, honestly... :-)
ReplyDeleteLooking good, but I wonder if they wouldn't benefit better from a dark wash to bring out the details.
