Junior45 Posted November 20, 2017 Share #76 Posted November 20, 2017 Hi, this is just brilliant, although not a passionate modeler I have tried it and managed a few productions of my own, but I never worked on ""Fading, shading, weathering, whatever" ( ). I did use diluted paint sprayed-on to imitate dust, sand, mud... but never the process you just described. really appreciate it, it a quick simple and easy guide (well at least for me). I am sure there are dozens of forums, with hundreds of threads on "How to", but my modeling interest never quite took me to those posts... This is just perfect for me: pics and simple words!! and a great outcome Congrats and keep us posted Thank you very much for the details and explanation Kind regards JEB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share #77 Posted November 20, 2017 Thanks very much for your kind words, JEB! This is why I like working with oil colors: Upper pic was taken at 18:00 h yesterday. Me and the wife went out for the dinner. After we have returned I continued reducing the weathering effect. Bottom pic was taken after I had finished yesterday at about 22:00 h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior45 Posted November 20, 2017 Share #78 Posted November 20, 2017 No problems, thanks or sharing! So between 6 and 10 was is just the oil paint drying or did you "reapply"/gently apply turpentine to fade away the colours? Cheers JEB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garandomatic Posted November 20, 2017 Share #81 Posted November 20, 2017 So wet brushing with turpentine until you like it.... I'm getting some oils, darn it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior45 Posted November 20, 2017 Share #82 Posted November 20, 2017 Hi Lars, I haven't uploaded anyon the forum I've left the family home about 3 years ago to live in the UK and I stopped making models at the same time.. During the move I decided to bring some uniforms and small items instead of models... They are all at home, on the shelves, in my bedroom waiting for me. Next time home, I will definitely take pics and share them here!! Kind regards JEB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior45 Posted November 20, 2017 Share #83 Posted November 20, 2017 Yes, I have applyed turpentine after returning and went on brushing the colors. Cool, seems a mistake-free way of getting a proper Job!! Thanks for the tip Lars. Kind regards JEB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypilot6670 Posted November 21, 2017 Share #85 Posted November 21, 2017 Thank you very much for taking the time to show your work. I can hear it creaking and groaning it’s way down a cobblestone Street watching for panzerfaust and tigers. Beautiful work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtyScout Posted November 21, 2017 Share #87 Posted November 21, 2017 Wow Lars, this M-36 is looking fabulous. I have a question: are the stars and stencils the decals that came with the model or are they dry transfers? So far this is an awesome job of painting and weathering. And to think there is still a diorama to be completed too. Semper Fi. Manny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted November 23, 2017 Share #88 Posted November 23, 2017 Lars this is fantastic. Your vision for the final product is exceptional. Ronnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share #89 Posted November 26, 2017 Thank you all so much, guys! Not much time for modeling these days but made a little progress today. I went on with the figures, much more detail work to do here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share #90 Posted November 26, 2017 I started to transform the base to a winter dio. Here's what it looked like this noon. An these are the things I used to go on. Main actors are wood glue and natron/bicarbonate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share #91 Posted November 26, 2017 Before I started to let it snow I masked the "dewed" areas of the dio with crepe tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share #92 Posted November 26, 2017 I mixed wood glue with water until it was very fluid (like milk)... Then I painted the snowy areas with that mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share #93 Posted November 26, 2017 Let it snow... More.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share #94 Posted November 26, 2017 More... Let everything dry for two hours and removed the masking tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud Kraut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share #96 Posted November 26, 2017 The "snow" was not completely dry then. Pressed down the edges of the snowy areas with a finger carefully for a more realistic look. Before and after picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share #97 Posted November 26, 2017 Ooops, Manny, I forgot to answer your question, sorry! I used the decals which came with the kit. Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted November 26, 2017 Share #98 Posted November 26, 2017 Fantastic snow job. Looks like you added a section or two of wrap wood or fence to the left of the Hotel building.Great details and high lights of the cobblestone streets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtyScout Posted November 27, 2017 Share #100 Posted November 27, 2017 No problem Lars. BTW nice little 'tutorial' on the snow covering process. It looks very realistic and its starting to feel cold already. Semper Fi. Manny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
