Personally i love the clean style (i have owned ultrasmurfs for 20 years now ^^) and i am do not see the need for weathering
As it is your predator is so cool, and your paintstyle so accurate that i would not obscure it with sponge/dirt/pigments
But hey, i continue to paint my weapons in red so i may not be the wisest one !
Most of my weapon casings are red in my Army of the Imperium project 🙂
This tank will be weathered because I weathered my dreads and drop pod.
I'd weather it. Any vehicle during war or even the first five minutes will look like sh£t. I have worked in the army and seen these things first hand. I like the 90's clean look but feel you should go crazy and mess the model up. Youtube has a lot of WW2 vehicle weathering tutorials. Maybe messing the model up your have fun. Other tha that it looks clean, great at the moment.
If you weather it, keep it subtle. Too many models get ruined by unrealistic weathering for the sake of practising a technique rather than actually improving the end result.
Dang – that's tasty. Nice work!
Do you magnetize your tanks?
Nope. I can't be bothered to spend extra time painting options for a tank. Would rather paint a second tank with those options. I'm not a gamer.
Ah, cool, I can understand that!
Again, really great work
i like a small element of weathering, some soot round exhausts and some mud/dust on lower quarter of the bodywork….but only very slight amount….I dont think SM tanks should look like long running campaign vehicles like say the guard.
Beautiful!
fresh out the auto-wash!
Looking good!
It's interesting you the lighting from the headlights before weathering. Is there a reason I'm missing?
Just speed. I had blue paint out so painted them. I'll just weather around it. It doesn't take up that much room.
Looks great. Super fast turnaround time too considering the quality of the (almost) end product! How'd you find attatching the tracks once they're painted? Always seems a good idea to me but i inevitably just end up glueing them on as i build it!
leaving them off is best for dry brushing them. That way you don't end up with paint all over the tank body work.
I love the clean look too.
Looking good and I prefer the clean look myself.
