Another great tip. Thanks.
I was feeling that the Warlord plastic tanks were too ‘prefect’, particularly the T-34s. Having added the weld lines, as you showed us, this will be a brilliant next step.
Nice technique, I actually have used a similar process for ‘Zimmerit’ on the Pz XL variant of shadowstug 🙂
I like the small tutorial on the tanks at the start as well. You get to learn a bit of history as well as some very useful tips. Never thought I would ever buy liquid green stuff but now I may consider it.
I did buy some ages ago. I used it once and it’s sat on the shelf ever since. Great to be able to use some of it up.
These videos make me want to start a flames of war army…
However wondering if you could do the same effect on space marine power armor considering the area one has to work with is a bit smaller. I don’t know maybe a smaller brush may work ?
Well, I would say its worth a try. I usually work with it at 1/35th scale. But I made a contemptor dreadnought for GD2012 that used the same technique, applied more heavily for rust pitting.
Well just tried it looks great on my crimson fist librarian sporting power armor and storm shield
here’s photo from my dakka account because cant get photo’s to work here

OH YA all hail the tank god 🙂

Very interesting, but it would have been easier to see if the tank had been undercoated in any other color…
I can finally bring my liquid green stuff out of retirement.
I love it – last time I did see the effect where a model some one had put WAY too much primer on. BoW’s former US guy Adam did go though the use of LGS for filth on some GW undead thing a while back – but I had not though in cast metal before this
It’s just dawned on me that liquid green stuff would be nice for cacking things up around tracks or wheels,. I’ll try it on my next vehicle; either a Bren Carrier or Jeep.
