SickSix Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Looking for input on how much metallic detail to do. Wanting to keep it minimal but wondering about the vents on top of hull... Should I do them metallic or just weather/chip them good? (Haven't got to tracks yet, they will be heavily weathered metal) Any Constructive Criticism welcome at this stage.

SickSix Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 NOT 100% satisfied with the result but overall I think they look better. I haven't quite mastered the sponge. I am wondering if I should go back in with some metallic in the center of some of the bigger splotches...

Bryan Blaire Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 The chipping looks good to me, Six! If you go back in with a dark metallic, I would only hit those spots you really want to look like gouges to the metal, and only do a minimal few of them. One thing you might consider - increase the chipping around the hatches more, and anywhere there's an access ladder or other component to be opened. I didn't get to comment, the vents on the top remaining the paint color looks better than it would metallic, IMO.

SickSix Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks for the input man. I still have some touch ups to do. Then the two on the right get a light gloss varnish then washed.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Your M40 Tiger tanks look good. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233362-silver-skulls-gideon-battle-tanks/page/9/#findComment-5349028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Decals on one. 2 more to go. Plan on black outline around the white numbers and will try to freehand the iron cross on other side of turret. (Or might order some German decals lol) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233362-silver-skulls-gideon-battle-tanks/page/9/#findComment-5351475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 So my plan is to responge or do chipping with a brush over the decals to blend them back in. Right now the only decals I'm waiting on are some 1/48 Tiger II decals to get the Iron Crosses. The crosses will go on the front-right side of the turrets.Basically got all three to the same stage tonight.

Naryn Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Love those tank models, and you’re doing a great job with them. Are you going to chip/weather them more heavily at the same time as you weather the decals? EDIT: just saw them on a desktop, was on mobile before and couldnt see the weathering. Looking great!
