Hi, I just wanna make something clear before start painting my first tank model. After reading posting from all expert here, I concluded the steps as below.

Step 1: Prime
Paint use: Mr Color Prime 1000, 1200, Tamiya Prime etc.

Step 2: Base Color
Paint use: Lacquer type

Step 3: Weathering
Paint use: Acrylic type

Step 4: TopCoat

There is an enamel type and saw someone use it for weathering also. Please correct me if i am wrong.

hi, I am looking for a chrome paint but the closest i can find is metallic silver.

Anyone know how to get better results than metallic silver ?

you feel more confuse and dizzy if you keep on asking more and more question...

the best thing to do and to learn is to hands on...ask little question and try more..practice more yourself...you learn better that way...

there is no short cut in learning something...and learning means you will do mistake at the beginning....but people learn from mistake...

trust me...me myself also still learning and also i discover many new technique in painting when i actually practice with them...nobody become an expert overnight...remember that

i also wish i can do well in my first tank. i will use this as my try and error model to apply some weathering techniques and practice my skills. Already bought another M1A1 Aim last week   hope to get better result this time.

Here the tracks for my panzer after some pastel powder. Did some drybrush on the tank also but its too ugly to show     


anyone can suggest wat color normally used for rust during drybrush?? I tried dark copper but the result wasnt really good
