The first mini for my 2011 /2012 project is done: The HQ Panhard AMD-35.
As you can see it doesn't have the decals on yet. That's because I first wanted to see if I liked the model. I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue with it in the first place. Now as soon as more vehicles are done I will apply the decals. Also I used this model to figure out what kind of camo I want and to practice painting this camo. Because it came out pretty well it now will be the HQ Panhard AMD-35.
The colours used (all Vallejo):
Base colour: Gunship Green.
Camo colour: Flat Earth.
Colour jacket Commander: Flat Brown
Helmet: Russian Green
After applying the base colour I applied a thin layer of black wash. Then after drying the camo was painted. When this was done an other very thinned down layer of black wash was applied. When all was dry I did a little toughing up the Gunship green and the Flat Earth.
The commanders jacket did get a layer of brown wash over the Flat Brown base colour.
I have decided to seal it by painting on the varnish using Vallejo Matt varnish. My intention is to do this with all the models.
Next some pictures so all of you can see how the model turned out.

ReplyDelete@ LES. I know. I won't forget that.
Looks great. I am considering an early war Colonial infantry company in my future projects and these vehicles would be a definite inclusion.
