John is back at his favourite subject in this tutorial with another tank being his muse. The Challenger 1 for the British force in Team Yankee is one of Battlefront Miniatures' best plastic kits so far.

The highlight and drybrush stage really gives an extra dimension to this model and brings it to life. A welcome addition to the process is pigment powder which grits up the tracks beautifully.

The patchy white pre-shade paint would be good as a winter scheme.
The end result is brilliant John.
Another great tutorial John, going to have to try the panzer aces track primer as it gives a very realistic look.
How do you make “Clean” camouflage lines?
if you mean without the feathered edges of a spray gun. I would usually hand paint it. At 15mm it’s not as time consuming as it can be on larger models. But to do it on a larger model, we’re talking using masking tape, masking fluid or something similar.

Oof! That’s a spicy paint job.
