How to build a realistic tank model

There were several requests how to weather a model so i tried to explain my methods and techniques. I hope it is helpful. It would be nice to get some feedback and critique due to the video.

I guess pro-modellers don´t weather their models as i did and they probably won´t allow these techniques. It is just my own way to weather a tank model and i have to admit that most of my techniques are very crude and not very sophisticated.
In my opinion the result is quite good and i´m happy with it.

good work, although a silver dry brush is the wost thing you can do to a tank model, you should be shipping with lighter base, then black/brown, if you want the edges to look more metallic, add a little gloss to you black/brown deep chips.

@MrZimmyjimmy its a matter of taste, this video is quite old already, now i use a soft pencil to give the edges the metal look.

your technique is good aswell, but its not my way to do it.

What is the basic colour of the tank? Which number of humbrol colour are you using to paint the tiger?

[888HamilkarBarkas888]

@Glosokopanaki i don´t use humbrol paints, so i can´t tell you, sorry.
