Nice job, Piotr!

I love the total effect on those land-battleships. I can see the rust, and the dirt, and the grime. I can almost smell those beasts!

And as others have mentioned, I think you've done a good job on the terrain as well. In particular the effects of the dirt/mud versus the grass is very realistic.

So now you must share with us some of your techniques. Did you dry-brush with rust color? How did you manage to get it onto the large flat/rounded plate of the secondary turrets without getting it too heavy on the raised details? Did you also dry-brush some silver/chrome color onto one or two parts of the tanks? Are those tactical numbers decals? They almost look hand-painted (although by a better hand then mine!).

Altogether a masterful result. Very inspiring!

Sorry I can't say more, but I have some T-28s in my to-do bin, and suddenly I've got a terrible urge to jump up and paint them!

Hi,
Thanks all for good words.
Nothink special abouth my technics. Basic color, than some black/green watering and than drybrushink with a little bit brighter basic colors. Some rust added by thin brush some black in engin area and canons. Do not forget to paint steel lines and tools on the hull. To creating realistic mud and dirt i am using dry pigments in different colours.
It looks like a powder (apply with dry brush).
I will add some new picture soon. I have a lot of tanks/infantry but have no enough good looking terrain to show it.
Today 3 new picture of russian equipment.
Regards
Piotr Neuff
