Fairly quiet couple of days, although I did a bit more work on my Falklands Brits last night. Painting up some vehicles including a Scorpion and a Scimitar (QRF, very nice they are too). Had a look at Chris Foss's AFV recognition guide for some ideas about camo schemes and I probably went a bit light on the black, it is supposed to cover 30% of the area of the vehicle.
I did my usual technique:
- black undercoat
- heavy drybrush of the base colour (Humbrol Army Green)
- inkwash all over (does some shading and stains the colour down a bit)
- lighter drybrush of the base colour (to raise the highlights)
- apply camo (black in this case)
- heavy mud drybrush around the running gear and lower hull
- very light drybrush all over of white. This catches the highlights and makes them look dusty
I need to think about the tracks (I usually do the tracks and tyres after), I usually do them a rusty mud colour with silver highlights, but as these have so much rubber in them, I might do them black.
