Trewets journey into Bolt Action German Panzer Grenadier 901st
Dirty Stug
First up apologies for minimal photos as I forgot to photograph the progress as I was concentrating really hard on the new technique.
The final result of undercoating the model with panzer grey, waiting for that to dry, then varnishing with gloss varnish and letting that dry. Next step is spraying the model with hairspray and topping that with a flat white acrylic paint. This is then followed by a very careful nervous rubbing of the white with a damp brush.
I found that soaking a section of white paint to reactivite the acrylic paint then gently rubbing with the brush gave a better result then rubbing a wet brush, as you need to brush harder and then when it reaches a saturation point for the paint to move you inadvertently take more paint off than you want to. The reactivated paint then moves over the model like a fresh white paint glaze.
The model was then weathered using powdered pigments, a red brown and darker black brown.
