Tamiya 1/35 M-60A1

[ulvdemon]

Applied the oil wash to the turret last night. The flash from the camera ruined the pictures, so I will need to retake. I am currently debating on applying a light misting of sand tot he lower section and road wheels to simulate dust.
I do know I have to look into some pigments to bring this model further along. If I can not find any locally I will need to order online.

This is coming along nicely

Here is where I am at now. Road wheels also have a oil wash applied, just not on right now. I am right now kind of at a loss as to what to do next? I picked up Tamiya's weathering set C (I believe, the one for desert vehicles). I might use that and/or apply a very light mist of the base sand color. Any sugegstions would be greatly appreciated.

Looking good! Have you thought about a Satin coat to seal everything in/reduce gloss? The other thing to think about is chipping/scratches, fuel/oil staining, and last would be pigments.

 

[ulvdemon]

It is currently gloss coated, going to put the dullcote on as the last step. Guess I am going to have to just bite the bullet and add the stains and chipping. As for pigments, going to have to look into those.

Cool remember less is more when it comes to chipping, streaking etc

Nice job man, pat on the back Now what's next?!

Looks great. That's nice big chunky tank. Congrats on finishing it.

 

[ulvdemon]

Thanks all. What's next... An ol' Monogram F5E Tiger II I am going to build as a surprise for my supervisor. He's the one who passed on the tank to me. after that, either complete my M1A1 or the 537 scale Enterprise, chunk panel lines and all.

 

[Junkie]

Sounds like you got some options.

 

[ulvdemon]

After the F5, will probably be the Enterprise. That one was being worked on since before the Corellian Freighter build.
