My Foray into Tank Painting

My Foray into Tank Painting...

So, I got myself a Type 90 tank



I thought what would be nice to do is to paint the sucker up and actually try my hand at weathering something...
So - after a coat of Tamiya Green Spray Can (I think it's Olive Drab - but I can't be sure...)

Then a coat of Mr. Super Clear UV Cut Flat to make the tank look nice and flat - (yeah - the green may not be official type 90 tank colours - but I was kind of just using whatever can of paint I already had at home ^^; The clear coat then is to make it flat like a tank's coat of paint would be)

Then I used some of Tamiya's weathering kits (Tamiya Weathering Master A & B) to detail it up...

And we have:




Okay I lied...

It's Bludgeon :b

Farout, not a bad job matey. I always enjoyed making models and painting them, but I was shocking when it came to that part of it. I could never get the painting right.

Thats looks awsome!, the tamiya weathering kits work great and really bring out the details well.

Top job, I didn't recognize Bludgeon till the photo _before_ you told us.

Wow!

Love how 'battle-worn' Bludgeon looks in his tank mode and then how 'blinged out' he is robot mode

How long did it take you to complete this project mate?

K K-K-Chrome! Is there a link somewhere on how to go about making it shine this good?
