Wash me baby!

Well with all the basic building and colors added, it was time for what I like to do best, weather the model. After the green was applied, the model was set aside to dry. While the model was drying, I painted the tracks Humbrol track color #173. After painting the tracks I lightly sanded the tops of the pads to give it that worn look. Remember, they were Fruilmodel metal track.

Next a wash of Mig rust pigments was applied to the tracks. I will weather the tracks further after they model is finished. I next added a wash of turpentine and burnt umber oil pigment to the model. This was added with a soft brush. If you don't like the effect one can just was it off by adding more turpentine to the model till the desired affect is achieved. The rubber tires and track are now added.

Next up is the chipping and scratches to be added. Then the upper shields will be added.
