As a little side project I started a few of the Tamiya prehistoric beasts that I have. These are 1/35 scale. I choose a crocodile and a parasaurolophus. They will be painted with the same colours as the Hind
But that is because I just want to test some techniques on these models. Primarily the salt technique for chipping and weathering.

Next is the light colour on the belly. I will also do a few light passes on the whole salt crusted model. This should lead to irregularity with the colours.
Well I don’t know about crocodile, but alligator is good eating... doesn’t need much salt...

A little progress to report. I have started with the detail painting. Since I have lot of stuff going on “real world” I am going for some simple relaxing brush painted details.
