My highlights on the stowage are extreme – subtlety is great but if you want them to ‘pop’ you have to have nice contrast between the light and dark variations of the colour. This hobby is all about trying new things to get slightly different effects, so challenge yourself on your next project! This technique can also be used with other colour vehicles like green for Allied M4s or Dunkelgelb for German tanks. Tear off a corner of a blister pack sponge and give it a go. The sponge technique is a really great way to get a controlled variation in colour throughout your vehicle and most people have these just sitting around.
I used the following for the light coloured uniforms: Vallejo Panzer AcesĪnd for the green coloured jumpers I used these: Vallejo Model Color Sand – some cloth type stowage Vallejo Model Color
Green – some cloth type stowage Vallejo Model Color Vallejo Game Colorīonewhite (mix with red brown for final highlight) These all follow the same technique which is base colour – wash – base colour – lighter colour (smaller area) – lightest colour (just the highlights).ĭark Brown – Large tarps, some smaller stowage Vallejo Model Color I used four main colour schemes – dark brown, red brown, sand and green. Stage 9 – Now it is time for the stowage. Once dry you can use the (72.034) Bonewhite Vallejo Game Color to drybrush and make the wheels looks dusty. This paint is very thin, so be careful not to put paint on the actual rims. Stage 8 – Using the (AK720) Rubber Tyres from AK Interactive, paint the wheels. I use (71.052) German Grey Vallejo Model Air to do the chipping and some blister pack foam in a random manner with most of the attention given to the most exposed areas. I like it as it adds that veteran look and provides some contrast to the light colours. Stage 7 – (Optional) This is the part where I add the chipping to the paintwork. Stage 6 – Finally use the (72.034) Bonewhite Vallejo Game Color as a final highlight to areas that would get the most amount of sun. Stage 5 – Continue the blister pack foam blotting with (321) Highlight British Uniform Vallejo Panzer Aces, this time within a smaller area again. Stage 4 – Using blister pack foam, this time with (70.912) Tan Yellow Vallejo Model Color, trying to concentrate on blotting the areas that would get the most light. Ensure you leave the recesses dark and make the areas deliberately uneven. Stage 3 – Using some blister pack foam blot the raised areas with (70.977) Desert Sand Vallejo Model Color (normal procedure applies to blot off most of the paint on tissue paper before applying in dabs to vehicle). Stage 2 – Wash the vehicle with Army Painter Strong Tone. Stage 1 – Paint the vehicle with (70.977) Desert Sand Vallejo Model Color You will need a brush, some foam from a blister pack and something along the lines of the following colours: Vallejo Model Color
I then like to use an Army Painter white spray and with the can facing directly above the miniature spray lightly, this has an effect of highlighting everything while keeping the lower portions dark and will help later as you add layers of colour to create depth. Once dry, I glue the vehicle down and prime first with an Army Painter Black spray. This stage is totally optional and not for everyone. Using plasticard I put down a layer of Spakfilla (Pollyfilla) with some sprinklings of sand and small rocks to create the base.

You may need to straighten up some of the resin with some hot water and clean-up some excess flash ( How to work with resins article), but this should only take you a few minutes, then on to painting: There is no need to add anything to these vehicles. Patch: The vehicles are resin with metal crew and weapons, and are easily some of the finest vehicles I have seen, with a huge amount of integrated stowage.

Just before the release of our Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) Chevrolet trucks we sent a few out early on patrol – a set of which found it’s way into the more than capable hands of our friend Patch over at wwpd:
