Tutorial: How to make a winter white winter camo part 2

On this second part of the tutorial, we will see how to use oils and enamels.

For this tutorial, we will use the upper hull of the Tiger 1 as exemple.

What I'm using:
Thin Brush N°00
Flat brush N°3
Round brush N°2
Custom made round brush, I used a round brush with hard bristle and cut the top Enamel Thinner Piece of sponge

AK Interactive enamels:

AK017 Earth Effect

Abteilung 502 oils:

ABT002 Sepia ABT170 Light Grey

Humbrol enamel:
34 Matt White

This is the hull after the chipping phase on the white colour.

The first step consist of creating chips: With bare metal colour and others with lighten tones used for the original camo.

Now that we have created all the chips and scratches on the paint, start the next phase: The oils and enamels.

For the oils using the sepia and light grey from the lights and shadows set by Abteilung 502, for the earth colour I'm using earth effect enamel from AK and of course also in enamel matt white from Humbrol.

Similar to the dot technique used for the weathering, here using white, sepia and light grey. The white and light grey must be placed in the area already covered with white in order to highlight them. Also this will give a nice contrast between area where the white paint is almost intacts with others where it is faded giving more richness to the model.

The earth colour is used mainly where dust or mud will be accumulating like on the fenders or the side skirts.

With a flat brush wetted in thinner (it is important to get your brush barely wet and not flooded with thinner) with vertical movements from top to bottom we will blend the various colours.

Once dry, few rust streaks are added to increase the aspect of the tank being on the battle field for a long period.

Once everything is dry, this is the result:

Now with the hull set in place:

Once more, you can see this isn't hard to get a nice and realistic effect very quickly and easily.
