Title: Bilbao armoured car WIP and the magic of enamel paint
Post by: Villev on 07 February 2024, 09:05:51 PM
A small addition into my SCW project, before starting another company of infantry. I went a bit overboard with the weathering, but hey, maybe the car spent a while rusting in open air before being pressed into service or something like that.

Just wanted to share the magic of oil and enamel paints for effects. I learned to use them from armour modeler youtubers (I especially recommend the Night Shift -channel (https://www.youtube.com/@NightShiftScaleModels)) and that really changed my vehicle game.

The only difference between pics 1 & 2 are streaks and shading with enamel washes, and dusting with oils- and the base painted of course. I'll get this varnished and enter it into the painting comp.

Very nice - I'm a great fan of oiling & rust on armour.

Maybe what it might need is some sort of patriotic political slogan or similar painted on it?
I'm not sure if you can buy appropriate 10mm transfers/decals (somebody on the forum might know) or even just some sort of unit designation - if they were used?

Only a suggestion  :)

Yeah, a good suggestion. I thought about some text- I could just freehand a big "POUM"-text on the side or something. But I want this to be usable by both sides, so I think I'll leave it without any identifying markings.
