Re: Tamiya Sdkfz.222
Now its really starting to look the part. Painting has to be my favorite stage.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Re: Tamiya Sdkfz.222
Thank you Mark.
Clint, painting is indeed the point where the build starts to come to life.
Well today was mostly detail painting of all the stowage after I got the base coat of panzer gray on. Although I did cheat a bit and applied some Gunze gloss panzer gray in the areas where the decals will go. But the. A quick dusting over adhjacent areas to bless them and lessen the contrast...
unfortunately by the time I was able to get pictures daylight was gone, and my work area lighting overwhelms the subtle work...
this evening after dinner, I added the decals...
Tomorrow I ought to be able to get the basic build all wrapped up....

Re: Tamiya Sdkfz.222
I will have a list of "How did ya do that?" questions because there are some really beautiful details here (How did ya do the muffler? How did ya do the tires and the wheels?) but my list can wait. JUST GER R DONE, bud. Your work looks fantastic!

Re: Tamiya Sdkfz.222
Painting? Well the mufflers are a base coat of Humbrol “Track Color” ( thank goodness that Humbrol brought that color back from the discontinued) with a wash of Testors Jet Exhaust. I still need to dry brush on a patina of some dark rust or something.... The tires are Mission Models Tire Black. By the way, I used the shaker device to mix the Mission Models paint, per Blacksheep’s question on that. Worked just fine, as you can see here.
And thank you... I just want to get this thing finished today....

Re: Tamiya Sdkfz.222
I don't blame you Carlos, looks like you're in the home stretch here. Beautiful work!
I should try that idea with the jet exhaust wash. I typically paint my exhausts with flat black and while it's still partially wet, I then paint over that with a copper color which blends into a dark rust-type color with a slight metallic sheen. Yours looks better though.

Re: Tamiya Sdkfz.222
Normally I’ll dry brush the Model Master Jet Exhaust. But I have the acrylic right now and not the enamel. And in my experience, Model Master acrylics dry brush terribly. So I opted for the wash instead. But it did not turn out as well as I had hoped....
