While we are waiting, Dan, the next stage of my T II build. I have now done a light overspray on the entire model in the Dark Yellow colour to tone down the the original green and Brown and give the model a 'dusty' appearance with a bit extra around the bottom of the side skirts and front and back.
For comparrison I start with one of the shots from the previous page for comparison so you don't have to skip back and forth.

 

[Heinz]

Very effective!

Looks as if its been tearing up a road!

And u sprayed this yellow on Wayne after u have 2 coats of flat over the gloss u did for the decals???

 

[Wayne Little]

Yep...that right! Next step is do some dry brushing and pastel chalk work.

 

[Catch22]

Wow, that technique is great! I might have to steal that one somewhere along the line...

 

[ThunderThud]

Looking Great Wayne!

 

[DBII]

What other colors can you use for overspray. How much did you thin the paint? Thank you for sharing.
