Turret on the way!
🕑 Added 2023-06-27 09:18:04 +0000 UTCMy friends, yesterday I started painting the turret, and plan on finishing it today. Hopefully there will be some resin action in the evening!
I decided to slightly violate the historical accuracy on this one, and give it a Soviet 4BO camouflage. Two reasons for this - I didn't want to paint the same finish as on the Mk IX again, and I thought a green camouflage would fit better with the color palette in this scene. Plus, it will contrast better with the murky water in the creek. Okay, I left the inside of the hatches in the original color, though! :)
So far I have the pin washes, detail painting, and chipping done. I plan to weather the entire turret using oil paints, and so far it's been fun. As you'd expect, there will be some heavy rust on this one!
Also, once it comes to the epoxy resin, I'll be very careful with its tint. I'm guessing just an airbrush needle dipped in Flat Earth will do the job. Most creeks are very murky, so much so you can't see far below the water surface, but here... I'd just really like to keep the bottom of the creek visible! :)
