Paulster Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Nice start. Whats your secret on the tool (wood) handles? 1
coolboxx Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Nice start. Whats your secret on the tool (wood) handles? Hi Paulster i used this Applied it watered down like a wash on a pale yellow undercoat about 3 coats you can draw a wood grain on your undercoat for a different effect. 3
coolboxx Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 Made some padlocks think they are ok some progress, taken on phone sry added 1

Hairsprayed chipped, and blue hint/highlight added to turret so far. some cables added. This last pic has the blue highlight applied 1
coolboxx Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 update .......turret finished, now moving onto chassis not sure how i will go about the tracks well this is what i ended up with 3
Dave J Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Thats coming along really nicely! What did you use for the white wash? 1
coolboxx Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 Great work on the chipping. Hairspray? Thats coming along really nicely! What did you use for the white wash? Yes hairspray, my 1st go at this, it's a nice trick. Gave up on water colour for now.
Administrators Fran Posted February 6, 2015 Administrators Posted February 6, 2015 I just love the whitewash! Great work!! 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 6, 2015 Administrators Posted February 6, 2015 Nice.... 1
coolboxx Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 quick update track looks amazing getting ready to paint hope i get the look iam after,some more parts painted. At first i thought i had pushed it to far weather wise" less is more" but its now growing on me, i have a lot to learn..... Will start this soon can't wait 3
Paulster Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Looking really good. You pulled that "late winter/ early spring" appearance off excellently. 2
Grant Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Blimey !! Â Is there anything you can't turn your hand to? Â I love the effect you've achieved and, yet again, at your first attempt! Â It's not fair to us mere mortals !! Â This is purely for information and a slightly redundant mention of a product called "Precision Ice & Snow" (I say redundant because of how you've created such a cracking snow/winter effect already).... http://www.precisioniceandsnow.com/ Â Â Great job ! 1
coolboxx Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Cheers Grant i will check that out. Would like to do a snowy Base
efrick Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I honestly believe that this is one of the most convincing winter whitewash schemes I have ever seen. 1
coolboxx Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks all for the comments really appreciated well i have got the tracks almost done made a meal of these glued 1st then painted harder then i thought,Tracks where painted Tamiya XF-64, then black wash,then heavy dry brush XF-53, then chalk pastel pigment fixed with hairspray and finally light siver dry brush. 1
