Next step, Light tan added to the camo, and some of the details begin to be added.





Paul

The next Camo colour is now on. This is Tamiya NATO brown and will be the lighter of the 2 browns. Should have said previously that the light tan colour is Tamiya wooden deck tan. A few more little details added again.





Paul

On with the 4th camo colour, this is the darker brown which I used Tamiya flat brown for. Also some more details added, a little stubble added using very thinned down Tamiya german grey. The goggle lenses have a base coat of german grey too.





Choc chips are next, hopefully get this done today.

Paul

The black elements of the choc chips are now added, flat black for these. Sorry for the dark pics, it is raining so hard here there is no natural light at the moment.





Paul

Choc chip camo is now complete. Final colour is flat white, used to finish off the choc chips. A light wash has been applied along uniform seems etc... using Mig dark wash.

These have also now had a mat clear coat, but I took these pics before that went on. last steps will be a coat of Tamiya smoke for the goggle lenses, and a dust with some appropriate colours of Tamiyas weather master.






next pics will probably be in place on the Bradley.

Paul.

Here are the finished figures. The goggles have had the lenses painted with Tamiya smoke which has a dark tint and dries to a gloss finish. The whole figure has then been dusted with various Tamiya weather master colours to give a worn, dusty look.




And some pics in place on the tank. As you can see the figure with the boonie hat can be used in the gunners hatch or the drivers.









Hope you like them.

Hi Chaps,

So here are some pics.
