Bolt Action T-34/85 painted

by | May 10, 2014

Well I finally got the transfers on the tank and there for I'm officially done with it. I started out with an idea that I wanted the tank darker then what I finally went with, the reason is that I after painting it in dark green I started Highlighting it and the result of that wasn't really what I wanted. So I painted over the highlights again and then I went with a much brighter green and I worked on putting shadows on it rather the highlights. I'm pretty pleased with the result and the what's missing is some dirt weathering on the tracks, but I don't have any pigments for it so this will do.


Colours
Imanly use Citadel paints, but now and then I find the colours or shades from Army painter and  Vallejo that I really like to use.
