Default RE: Colourguide

Ok, a while ago i was colouring a tank from a friend. This was an 3 Camo.

So what i would do:

1. Filtering

yellowbrown - ockre all around, suspension grey-braun to get to colors more homogenious





2. Washing with black

to get more dimensional (doors )



3. mate varnish

4. Tamiya XF 51 Khakidrab ( Shadows )
around corners, bolts, suspension



5. Chippings with grey ( Tamiya XF 24 or Germangrey ), Umbra( very dark braun, close black, little, older rosty chippings ), desertyellow ( the colour what you use for this, made this into the green and braun ) Sponge Technic

- Suspension
- Fenders
- around the doors,handles

grey is very good for german vehicles cause the most ones where grey befor they became an camo. Also fit very good to all your colours




5. Scratches

Here you can use XF24 or Germangrey ( scratches not going down to metall )or/and Umbra( very dark braun, close black, little, older rosty scratches), and / or desertyellow, brush 10/0





6. Rost

real Rost Set, or different Technic, not to much just special parts ( regular metall, no Tanksteel)

at Muffler, some Screws/Bolts, Handles



7. Smoke Tamiya XF1

spray this cloudly with airgun

Barrel, MG, Airintakes ( very thin )




8. Dirt

For Dirt you can use From light grey to brown. In your Fall i would say something like light grey



9. mate Varnish

10. last but not least Metall Effects with Graphitpowder



Hope this will help you a little
