Some Wheel work

While I wait for my head to figure out how I want the upper deck and turret to look ( weathering vice ) I started on the Wheels . Light wash's and predust and mud.

Using water thinned AK Dust , and air from the AB I 'blow' the dust arround on the Wheel

Drilling was the tricky part

felt it was time to get some mud color on this puppy .

Made up a 'slush' oil bath ( Oil + thinner ) for the pigments to settle into. Slabbing it onto the hull, follow by dabbing in several pigments colors into the wet mix.

Once 'so so' happy with the color, I sealed it with AK's ultra varnish.

after letting it dry I went back and fort with a short stiff brush and a few producst from Wilder and Ammo to make some splatter effects
