NOW COMPLETE: Spanish Panzer I Ausf. A Breda 1/16 AMMO/Takom

[TheRaceforTerra]

Hi guys,

As I said in the introductions section, I have been painting models since 1994, but only for various wargames. This is my first foray into scale models, so do bear that in mind.

Happy to have avoided any major disasters so far!

I will be covering painting and weathering in my Youtube Channel, by the way.

Welcome to the Forum and watching your progress,

Welcome to the Forum and watching your progress,

Thank you kindly, @dogfish7 !

Just finished the build! I won't lie, I was really close to epic failure at times. Thankfully now it's time for the part that I will really enjoy, painting...and particularly weathering!

 

[dogfish7]

Looking forward to seeing your methods of painting and weathering.

Thank you, @dogfish7 . Here is an update from Saturday, been so busy at work that I forgot to post:

Like your modulation shading.

Like your modulation shading.

Cheers, I am planning on using AMMO Shaders next to push the contrast a little bit more, then I'll start with the weathering proper.

So, just played a bit with my Ammo Shaders. Pretty happy with the results, but I don't know if it's noticeable on camera:

Alright, second post of the day. Made lots and lots of mistakes, but hopefully it'll look good once I start weathering:

Nice ,
all these images look like 3-D renderings .

Looking pretty good.

Looking pretty good.

Thank you!

So, today's update. I've added more color modulation, and painted the gun and the hatch on the cupola. Much happier now. Next stop: decals. Much happier now that weathering is about to commence!

This week's update:

• Decals
• Airbrushed and chipped black cross on top hatch
• Enamel filter

Some work on the tracks today!

Wow! All aspects are superb.

Wow! All aspects are superb.

You are too kind, sir! I hope it's pretty good in the end. The main thing for me is that I haven't had any disasters, other than needing weeks for the build and a whole day for the tracks. Given it's my first scale model, and that I clearly bit more than I should...I'm happy

 

[TheRaceforTerra]

Alright! Pin wash done!

 

[dogfish7]

That's making a few things pop.

Thank you! I've been working on a Warhammer tank...will resume work on the Panzer this weekend. It will be my first time using oil dots!
