1st stage of painting the jacket done!

i'm quite happy with the vallejo paint now, it's not as heavy as the GW paint and i'm making my mixes a touch thicker..... so thats nice

head and arms blu-tacked for pic

 

[gothicgeek]

working on the jacket..........

testing attachments

 

[gothicgeek]

have got most of the tank done, some tidy-up and then on to the paint... have just got a premiair g35 ( hope it's better than the aztec i gave away ) so will try shooting some vallejo through it

 

[T50]

Looking great so far!!!
Love the way you handle the cuff title.

 

[gothicgeek]

Many thanks T50!

i assume the origional must have been etch cos it is absolutely perfect!

lots of gentle thin washes to pick it out....

all building on the T34 completed, even the cuts on the track! primed and ready for a spray job

happy with the panzer wrap so just last tweaks on the medals etc and gloves, then onto those pants........

white? or mouse grey? i ain't decided yet, but i'mm 100% not doing them in any of the camo patterns

jibber-jabber over i post a pic

 

[Kirky]

Love what you are doing on this so far, you are really making the ,liece your own with the t34 section, why no camo ? are going for a snow scene?

Kind Regards

Kirky

happy bunny here with my progress........

 

[Jamie Stokes]

Looks good so far......

with the treads, are you going to add some graphite to where the metal treads and guide teeth are polished through friction with other parts of the running & drive gear?

like the build up and WIP shots so far

cheers

 

[gothicgeek]

Hey Jamie!

yes i will save the graphite till final assembly but it should set the tracks off lovely

ATM i am struggling with white trews... really struggling

Mark

 

[Christosjager]

Mark you are making a great project,the tank will give 50% to your figure,very good idea,at the end you will have a masterpiece in your showcase.

 

[gothicgeek]

Christos!

many many thanks!

......

i hate white paint!

after much messing around i think i got it looking ok, well just that top corner... |

field grey, teck tan, off white, skull white ( inspired by Joe Hudsons work )

used field grey for the really deep creases.. blended into deck tan, 3 shades up to off white then a highlight with skull white... mostly feathered

 

[Jamie Stokes]

Ok, enlarging your effort so it is larger then life, good.

Have you captured the effect of white garment with shadows & highlight?

In my opinion, Yes.

And a darn sight better then my effort with Andreas White set.
(My limitations, not theirs)

You heading in the right direction, at least.

cheers

 

[gothicgeek]

Many thanks for the input Jamie

a productive weekend...

lots to do still on the base and tank and them pants to finish... uuuuhhh .....

 

[ubbi]

You are doing an awesome work Mark !! I will follow your progress also with the whites...

Stefano

 

[gothicgeek]

Many thanks Stefano

Progress ........

sprayed the groundwork to represent mostly dead and dried up grasses ....... decided to try and get a ground frost look, with some snow left over from a previous fall, now i'm pretty sure i'm gonna sprinkle some on the tank....

 

[dinovision79]

Simply superb work Mark! The groundwork brings it together nicely!

Thanks for the pics!
Denes

 

[Black Army]

Great work Mark!

I like this base a lot.

 

[gothicgeek]

Denes .. Balázs ...... many thanks guys, i was worried it was too much but it seems to work

the figure is virtually finished YAAAAY!

some tweaking on the pants to just get them right and then weathering ( light! ) to make sure our man's not floating on the base

Phew!
