[Chapter] Chapter 19- mud and crud

Chapter 19- mud and crud

Here you can see that I have come near to finishing the oil washes and drybrushing. The pictures I had for the construction up to this point unfortunely were lost in a computer mishap. Let me just say there were several steps involved here! The muffler has been built and mounted on an previously mudded and weathered rear plate. The mud and weathering were added to previously primed and painted hull. I paint everything flat black for priming and preshading. I am using the Vallejo Air paint colour of Panzer Yellow for the top coat here, which is what I thought I would stay with but,.. more on that later. A lot of work has gone into the preperation of the hull prior to the putting on of the bogie wheels and drive/idler wheels,(which also recieved much work to bring them close to being finished prior to intallation). I must have had 8 steps of paint, Future, wash, drybrush, ect. It is something, the weathered look, that I like to build up in layers.Like in real life weather ing happens over a period of time in different weather conditions and in different terrain conditions. The application of mud, along the bottom, sides front, and rear of the hull has been done using a mixture of white glue, sand, static grass, a form of plaster mixed together to form a paste. This was brushed on with an old brush and allowed to dry. Then to colour the mud I used an oil wash odf black and burnt umber.A couple of the replacement tool boxes from the Lion Roar set can be seen in the upper corner inset.
