<u>Part 2</u>

now, we come to the first effects.


Shadows and brightening...

For shadow i used XF 51 Khaki drab, it fit to all desertyellow colours as shadow. <a href="http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&amp;p=Ci4HO3kMAA&amp;search=brighteni ng&amp;trestr=0x8001">

</a>

First i brush all Corners and Cants, also Bolts and Slots. For the first it looks way to strong, but we will fix this soon. When this is try i go back to the Basiscolor and Brush over the Shadows how looks to much. No, we see, Basiccolor ( XF 57Buff ), XF 51 Khaki drab, and something else between this both colors. Important is that you brush it cloudly



Here you can see the differents.

At next i use Filterset from MIG (P403 AfrikaCorps Filters Set )



The Filters are working great and the colours looking more homogeneously. For the Top i used ochre, for the suspension ( you can see this at the moment ) i will use the brown one. Another special Effect

I put the Filter on the Modell with an large soft brush, first the roof of the turret, than the side of the turret. Don&acute;t brush the hole tank in one, cause you need time to work with the Filter.



on the Top i used an Kitchen Papier and dab it into the wet Filter...



...after this i&acute;m going to the side...



... and i&acute;m going up and down with the brush ( little harder brush ). Very important is, that you don&acute;t have some drop formation

Here you can see our first effects



it&acute;s still wet, when its try looks much better.



Same steps you can do with the suspension and the brown filter
