Wolf's Flames of war late war V4 update

Ladies! Gentleman! Everyone in between the former two and the ones that are not in between.

I present to you, the other half of the russian T34 Company. And the upgrade for the Battallion Commander Turret a nifty 85 mm gun and a turret equipped with a cupolla (oh my, that’s russian luxury for you right there). We even got a Lloyd shot.

I was quite happy with the commander turret, therefor I could not resist to do a close up.

The commander was done as in t he previous post. the cap though was done in the following sequences as it’s closer to a uniform clothes. Some can tell me it’s the bloody same… well I wanted to have fun.

Vallejo Khaki Grey 880 as a base

GW Seraphim Sepia wash

Vallejo Khaki Grey 880 as a base on the raises surfaces and leave the dark bits dark.

Mix of 75 % to 25 % of Vallejo Khaki Grey 880/ Vallejo Stone Grey 884 just on the edges to make it pop some.

I was tempted to end here…. but I can’t. Here is a full step by step tutorial on how those tiny tanks were produced. Just if anyone there was wondering or wanted inspiration, also I could bloody remember it for the next time…. what you meant…..?

I’m very sorry if this tutorial will be very verbous but I wanted to try it out and see the feedbacks.

So first GW Chaos Black Rattle can undercoat, turrets removed from the hulls ,I tend to do it in 3 to 4 passes (2 on the top, two on the bottom) and go around the model doing short sprays.

Once this done put the turrets back on the hulls and do a zenith spray with a GW Chorax White Rattle can. no need to go crazy on it.

Then we go back inside. Remove the turrets from the hull, Grab your thrusty airbrush the Vallejo Russian Green 894, Vallejo Airbrush flow improver, Vallejo Airbrush Thinner.

I find, for me that with this airbrush the following mix tends to go on as a base.

twice more thinner than paint and then about 1 drop of flow improver per two drops of paint

Exemple : Paint 20 drops, thinner 40 drops, flow improver 10 drops.

2 Bar of pressure

If you don’t have an airbrush you can go with a rattle can. the onces from The plastic Soldiers company are quite good. I prefer those over the army painter which gave me a fair bit of headache going from being so thing it hides details to giving me a sandy texture (and of all of it was on droopfleet commander minis…)

Once that is done, have a break with the complicated stuff. Grab your jar of GW Nuln oil. and hit all the tank with it. try to avoid pooling on flat surface but really that’s it.

Once the wash it real dry (give it a night or at least a few hours) grab that Vallejo Russian Green 894 that was trying to run away, your favorit nicely sized dry brush brush and do an overall drybrush. When I say nicely sized it’s not too small 😉
