Hi everybody! Yesterday I painted a SdKfz. 251 for my Bolt Action army. So I decided to record the process of painting the green color using the modulation style.
This model is a gift from my friend and companion here at ModelBrush, Rubén (HeresyBrush). Thanks mate!!
Now some explanation of the process, with pics:
For the Dunkel base color I used Tamiya XF-59 Desert Yellow with a little bit of Tamiya XF-78 Wooden Deck Tan:
Highlights with Buff and pure white, to do the subtle modulation:
I used Silly Putty (thanks to my uncle Nacho for giving it to us!) to make the masks for the green color, in a random manner all around the vehicle:
The green modulation done:
The Silly Putty removed and the Hanomag ready to be really dirty!! 😉
Great looking Hanomag! Who is the manufactor of this SD.KFZ? And what color do you used for the green?
Cheers
Ingo
Hi Ingo and thanks for your comment!
The SdKfz. is from Die Waffenkammer, a SdKfz.251/1D 1:56 scale.
The green used is Tamiya’s XF-26 Deep Green. I simply mixed it with white, as seen in the video. It produces a highly unreal tone, but it gets really better with the weathering on.
Byeee!
angusin! You’re welcome…
Thanks again for it! You’ll have to bring more Silly Putty eggs when you return to Spain!! 😉
6 new «eggs» incoming! Espected arrival in Mandril: Feb 3!
Fantastic tutorial.
By the way, where in Spain can we buy that «silly putty»?
Hi Khargrim!
I haven’t found places in Madrid to buy it.
But you can find it online, like on eBay.com or Amazon.com. But I warn you, it’s not cheap!!
