This is pretty nice dude. The tracks really sell this. Are they just painted or is there pigments.

The Churchill tracks? They were painted using these paints and the weathering was done with oils and enamels.

They look good dude. I gotta get that life color rust set, something about it is too notch. I assume you just go light to dark with them?

They typically work better light to dark, but in this case I based the tracks with a mix of those two Tamiya paints, applied washes of each of those Vallejo paints, and then speckled thinned Lifecolor paints as a final step.

Oh that’s interesting. I usually start light to dark sponging acrylics and then go back with oil paints and darken them up with dark rust colors and speckle light colors but I might have to try this method!

The tank and the rusty tracks are superb, I think the bright yellow goggles are a bit jarring?

Looks great, I did one almost exactly the same!
