Pz.Kpfw. I Ausf. A, Tristar 1:35

[Kuba]

Few weeks ago I started this quick project. A Tristar's Pz.Kpfw. I.
One of a nicest kits I have built so far. Very good tooling, overall excellent fit and level of detail. Two evenings and a beetle is built.



I wanted to try some simple shading technique with Panzergrau colour as well as blue filters.



with decals applied

...and some dust layers and staining it looks now like this:







Now I am working with tracks.
Any feedback and criticism as usual are more than welcome



Thank you, have a nice day!

Dear All,

Thank you for a nice feedback.
The dust was done in few steps:

[1] A buff colour paint was applied in few layers onto running gear and lower hull. I used Vallejo paint heavilly thinned with water and satin coat.

[2] Dry mud pigment was laid and blended using white spirit and flat brush.

[3] A darker colour of pigment was used to make it less uniform

[4] After the pigments were fixed, some darker oil washes followed to create some stains and streaks.

Best regards,
Kuba
