Befehlspanzerwagen 38(t), Just a few more tweaks...

Hi all,

just a few more tweaks and I call this one complete. I still need to paint the MG and add some details to the Rahmenantenne.

I had some issues with this model. It all started as a test for the hairspray technique, so I took an old model of mine and started repainting it. I always had in mind that this is just a test, and probably I won't finish it. That's why I didn't care about a lot of things like fine chipping of the basecoat for example. After spending a few hours on the whitewash I started to like the model and started to add all the stuff I should have taken care previously. This caused a lot of trouble but finally I managed to achieve the look I was aiming for. I'm really looking forward to start my next paint job from scratch :)

So stay tuned, pics of the final model will follow soon...

Befehlspanzerwagen 38(t) Update: crew belongings

Just a short update, I worked on the crew belongings.

I also worked with the HS method on this parts.
Base colors, next time I will work with a darker, more brownish color:



After the HS I applied the base coat. I also tryed to work with different shades of gray:


Water and a stiff brush was used to get rid of the previous applied layer:


And the stuff after weathering- ready to find its place on the vehicle:

Befehlspanzerwagen 38(t)

Hi all,

I built this one 2 years ago and finished it in overall darkgray. I never liked the result of the first paint job, and now in my "whitewash fever" I decided to take this model and start the airbrush ones more.

Here the original model (Rahmenantenne removed for better handling during the painting process)



After a layer of HS I added a thin layer of acrylic white:



Getting rid of the white wash with a stiff brush and water:




And this is the progress so far. I added darkbrown washes and a first mapping:



Still a lot to come...

Hope you like it,
