Up -Armored Farmer

All Righty! Got some paint on (and off) of this baby. Basic Hairspray technique to achieve the worn and peeling paint look. I think the pictures pretty much tell the story....

I began by laying down a nice grey "primer" color...and then sealing the deal with Future.

Next came a layer of hairspray....

Once this dried I gave the tractor it's color - a mix of Tamiya Flat Red toned down with a little Buff....

A little water and a little scrubbing with an old brush....

A round with the artist's oils - a little shading and a little pre-weathering....

And here is where she sits at the moment. I'll continue with the weathering once I have the armored sections completed....

Outstanding Rick. Had to pull it up on my phone to see, glad I did cause the anticipation would drive me crazy!

VERY inspiring also.
 
Thanks for the how-to on the hairspray trick- I was guessing that a coat of Future would be necessary- now I know! Looks fantastic, Rick- cheers!

Excellent effort Rick.

The step by step process on the paint process is perfect.

Look forward to seeing more.

I've been watching this build and thought I had posted, Guess not!

Nice work on a really unique model!(y) (y) (y)

Anxious to see it finished Rick!

Good day all.

One quick photo to share with you today. Got some time over the weekend to do a little work with the pigments.

Next up - painting the armor.

BTW, I also spent some time trying to get up to speed on this conflict/era. Like I said above, my knowledge regarding this subject is very limited. But, what I am finding is that these make-shift armored vehicles seemed to be most prevalent among the Croatian forces - especially early in the conflict.

So, that's what I'm going with - at least for the time being. :unsure:

best,
Rick
