The edges of the camo swaths are cleaner than I think many people get with an airbrush, and the feather edges is something some tutorials recommend copying with a brush but looking at pictures I am not convinced that this is any more of a realistic pattern than a defined and clean edged camouflage. I was particularly happy with how the tracks turned out. This was my first attempt at the red rust/ iron oxide look and I think they turned out fairly well although you can't see it in the pictures.
The basing of the Russians is also on hold and I am making slow progress on the German infantry. For something totally different I assembled a Space Marine battle barge and reassembled after they came apart it's accompanying escorts. Maybe one day they too will face the brush.

They look really good. MAybe for a next step you could add some dirty runs and rust around the rivets and things using devlan mud or gryphonne sepia. You could try lightly sponging a little battle damage or using a pencil to create some weathered patches around high wear areas. Not sure how much time you are wanting to put in though, with your 250+ infantry kicking around...
ReplyDeleteI have plans to add some basic weathering when I find and apply some decals. I think just some metal sponged on around the edges. I'm currently working on the German infantry and after that they will need some half tracks to go with them...
