Hello.
This is a simple guide for tanks. Pictures are pretty small but I think they are sufficent enough to get a grasp of what is going on.
Note that the guide can be used for any other tank.
Before we start, I¡¦ll go through some basic things.
You will need a large brush. I use a size 10 flat brush for this particular tank.
When basing the tank, I use a simple technique, drybrushing. But when painting a tank there are large areas to cover. A golden demon winner and artist told me to paint the areas with drybrushing but at a 45 degree angle. Once I have done that to an area, I redo it once more but the other way, making a cross so to say.
Example, from the top right down to the bottom left in a 45 degree angle. Once done, from the top left to the bottom right on a 45 degree angle.
As I am going for a bright colored tank, I need to do many layers. I cant just go straight for the color I want, since the black is going to show through the lighter colors. Thus I must use many layers and work my way up. Also by doing this a ¡¨smother¡¨ way from dark to bright is acomplished, shaded parts to high lighted.
Well then lets begin.
The first picture is just how it looks once its coated.
Second picture is the first layer of drybrushing, in my case Bestial brown. The first layer takes the longeest time to apply. Dont worry if the layer isnt smooth and even. This will not be a big issue as you will probably have many other layers added.
Third picture is Graveyard earth.
Forth is Graveyard earth and rotting flesh 40/60 mix. From here it gegt more important to get the layers more even allround.
First picture here is pure rotting flesh.
Second is the final layer. Rotting flesh and skull white.
Third picture is now when the tank gets its details.
But before the tank get the detail work, I have diluted black and grey with alot of water. Giving me a very diluted wash. This I aply to the whole tank. This is to give some shades and as GW says ¡¨ to give the impression of concrete dust covering the tank.¡¨
For me its more balencing out the many layers I have and covering up some of the drybrushing mistakes.
I add the metalics and base colors onto the tank and its detail.
Last picture is where I add the high lights to the details. Cant see much of a differance on the third and forth though
Any how here is the finnished result.
Yours Truly
