15mm WW2: Panzer IV ausf. H - Camo

Continuing on with my last three Panzer IVs. Yesterday I airbrushed the camo onto them.
After a bit of a fight with my airbrush (which, as usual, came down to a proper cleaning of the airbrush) I got the paint down.

Howdy folks!

It's been 2 months and a couple of days since my last post. I've been busy with a new hobby (and starting up a new blog: Action air) but now I'm back. Updates won't be as frequent as before, but I'm getting my mojo back so I'm back!

15mm WW2: Panzer IV ausf. H - Detailing

After getting a good drybrush to bring out all the details on the model, it was time the details got some love.

So, after the filter or wash or whatever you want to call it, the overall color of the camo looked good. Now it was time to apply a drybrush to bring out the details and start the weathering of the tanks.

As pointed out by myself and some astute readers, the colors are a bit on the bright side to be camo.
Actually I anticipated this in my use of a very light yellow color whereas the base color of late war panzers is dunkelgelb, aka dark yellow.

That's why I planned from the beginning to add a wash of vallejo sepia. After reading up on what filters are (in a model painting context) I decided to just go ahead with the wash, but in a thinned down version. This should have the same effect as a filter, with the added benefit that I didn't have to buy yet another modeling supply ;)
