Coffee, Tea, or ...... BEER!
Ok time to fill the cart up with goodies for our hard working paratroopers. I chose a vaired mix of items to keep it interesting. The large basket, and beer cases and bottles, including decals are from Plus Models, the jerry can from Tasca and the potatos, large hot food containers, bread, and metal box from Verlinden.
All the metal containers received a coat of paintable silver leaf from the art supply store. when this was dry, it was dabbed with Gunze Mr. Masking sol with a torn piece of 3M green scrubing pad, then given a coat of Tamiya Hull red. This was then post shaded with some buff mixed into the red, then again dabbed with the mask. the jerry can and one of the hot food containers where then painted with panzer yellow, then post shaded, while the metal box and the other hot food container where shot with field grey, and then again post shaded with some buff in the mix. the masking agent was then removed. The Jerry can was then masked and given a white water cross.
The beer crates received the same treatment as the cart (see the previous chapter), while the bottles were painted with tamiya clear green and brown (made from green and red mixed). Decals were applied with the Microsol system. I hate Plus Model decals. They never seem to layflat. The bottle tops were "topped" off with the silver leaf and glued into the crates.
The baskets were given a coat of vallejo flat flesh, then given several washes with brown oils in turpenoid, then some drybrushing with more fleash acrylics. The German brown bread was base coated in Burnt umber acrylic then dabbed with lighter browns to give it some texture. Finally the sack-o-potatos where given a burnt umber base coat, then a heavy dry brush of lighter browns, and a burnt umber oil wash.
Thats it for this installment. Up next making the tarp! |
