Hi guys! I'm using this holidays break to build and paint the models. So, here you can see part of the work. Now, the B1 has being painted, decaled and matted.    I used Ammo Forest Green and Sand Yellow. The matt varnish is VMS. Hope you liked! ACC&?W  |

The decals look great too.
What is the red thing in the middle?

Really nice!! Great colorr, and those decals really jump into your eyes, great!
That red thing looks like a fez, left behind by one of the crew, if one of them was from Algeria... but that's probably not what it is ...

I would not normally give French armour a second glance but you have done a cracking job with this so far

Looking pretty cool. I like the soft/hard edges of the camo as it makes it look realistic. Good moves allround Marcomeister.

First of all, cheers mustly Mence an Wouter! So, some news here: I retouched all the spots, to be sure that the paint is hard edge (sorry about this Guybro). After that I started the weathering using "oil dot" technic, hevier on the hull sides because the tracks of B1 needed constant lubrication, so, the sides of hull were plenty of oil, grease, dirty etc. I used Yellow Ochre, Raw Umber, Burnt Siena, Olive Green and Black on the sides and the same colors (minus Black) on the top of the hull. The turret and left side didn't received the oil yet, yesterday the NFL divisionals started before I finished the work. Hope you like:    ACC&?W  |
