Churchill Mk III- In-progress 3

Hi all,
Managed to get some considerable work done over the CNY long wkend, as well as additional long leave the week after. :)

1)Decals applied
 2)1st attempt at using non-conventional colors for filtering.
-Red(complementary color to green) and yellow, dots applied to the central area of each segment. As red & yellow both are warm colors, it gives a warm feel to the exposed areas of the tank. Both colors are then blended together (see next pic for the results)
-Red & blue dots added to the shadowed areas. As shadow areas are generally meant to be "cooler", the blue mixed with red = purple, will create this cooler areas in the shadows.
  Central areas appear more faded & warmer. Shadows are enhanced further.


Top parts after filtering with red & yellow, giving a warmer and faded effect. 
Pin washes also done. 
Stay tuned for more:)

Cheers!

Churchill Mk III - AFV Club

 Hi folks,
Current project I'm working on. The Churchill Mk.III British WWII tank. Started last year actually but had disruptions here & there. Finally can start focusing on it again.
Assembly photos were not taken this time round. So below is the base green coat applied today. Learnt from a "Shifu" to be daring and lighten the base coat to the extreme, so when you weather subsequently, the overall color won't get dulled down.
Well, i'm trying that out for this model. Hopefully it turns out well :)
Next up will be the post-shading and filtering

Cheers!
