Thanks chaps Seems like an age since I did anything on this, but finally got the opportunity to get some primer and a base coat of Ruski-greenski on the T34. Cracked open a fresh jar of Mr Primer surfacer and had a squirt....god it stinks but oh so smooth !![](https://i.ibb.co/XbgyScb/D9-EEFEA6-D993-4729-8-EDD-71-A926218-D38.jpg)
Then a coat of 4BO from a Mig Ammo modulation set, the darkest colour first... ![](https://i.ibb.co/W6jyHvD/DA1-CDA08-9707-4295-9-ECF-DA4-A7-B0-EC271.jpg)
Will leave it to cure for a bit then I’ll chuck some more paint at it

Cheers gents, glad you like how it’s going. I don’t do ruski stuff very often so it’ll be a nice test bed for weathering and stuff. Anyway......I got busy with the paint and built up the highlights, daringly high at present but I know the weathering will balance it. Here’s some pics So this is the first of the lighter coats.... ![](https://i.ibb.co/Zdv8Q9D/2-C5-C1-D0-D-3-BDF-498-E-9-F51-3-BF237457-EAE.jpg)
Then there are two more lighter colours... ![](https://i.ibb.co/VCDvVd8/0-F125-A75-414-F-4697-AD93-10-EDB7776862.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/S3MybFZ/2-F695-DB9-95-B4-44-AD-A26-A-2-B87-DBFACFCF.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/zX9Qnn2/D657-D013-CA79-40-FD-853-D-90-BB63-DA008-B.jpg)
also cut a stencil for a turret number....I have decals but fancy trying this . thanks for your support gents, much appreciated ![](https://www.allsmileys.com/files/emoji-jumbo/e047.png)

Are you using the Gunze "Color Modulation Set Russian Green" ? It certainly does give you some range in the colour ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) , looking good Si

That's something I really like! Well done mate, and like you said: those highlights will be toned down a lot after weathering.
This is getting better and better ^^

Evening gents, Well I’ve made a little more progress with the T34. The stencil was a successful and went without a hitch. . Then it’s had a filter to tone it down then some oils to fade the paint. I’ve not done weathering this way round before so let’s see how this goes o.O ![](https://i.ibb.co/ZJsX2wX/F31-D810-D-4448-4-BEC-B026-9-C1-C97-A19-A06.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/hMNFxtB/3-E542969-18-AA-483-D-8-D92-122-DF850-BA4-E.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/n8fkVvk/5732-DB76-E090-4143-9062-FC5676-ED7466.jpg)
Needs to dry for a bit now so will be getting back to the 223
