I finally got to put some paint on the wee beasty. I still have to do some touch up here and there,
then some future,decals, and weathering. The race is on to have it ready for a show on the 24th.

Dude... the walker looks amazing... but I really gotta ask... why the dayglo camo? I mean before the yellow/blue paint it looked awesome, now I'm not so sure. Should have looked better with a regular camo job or just plain gun metal! Just trying to figure out why!?

I think maybe it was because back in the days of WW I, and before color film. Camouflage was quite garish.
I am sure you may have seen some outlandish camouflage color patterns on the Warbirds of the era?
Plus, maybe he will mute the intensity of the colors with aging, weathering, and distressing?

Thanks for the comments and questions. First I have to say that my camera didn't capture the colors all
as well as I would have liked. The colors Used were Poly Scale PRR buff as a base , Tamiya IJN Grey,(XF-77)
Red Brown (XF-64), and Deep Green (XF-26) . The IJN Grey came out in the pictures much more blue then
in real life.
ModelMakerMike you are right about the paint scheme and after washes, filters and pigment it should
tone down a fair bit. The camo patterns used in WWI were very colorful and very bold.

Looking really good there.

I got to dirty her up a bit, just a little detail painting and a little more pigment and I think we'll
call it done.

 

[ModelMakerMike]

[Grendels]
