More Polish 7TP painting (continued II) ...

The 'base colours' are put onto the second "gun tank":


The shading starts, mid-tone and final highlight. The shades of brown was harder to do Anita Acrylic's Earth Brown, Anita Acrylic's Dark Red, Games Workshop Sunburst Yellow and Anita's Acrylic Cream. The challenge was not to turn the brown pink: 


The final yellow colour gets a white shade highlight:


Camouflage pattern complete, tracks and exhausts to do next:  


Still think I will plastic-card the bottom to make the model feel more solid. The kits do need to be varnished however as the SHQ castings have sharp lines which mean that the Anita Arylic's paints have a tendancy to 'rub' off the metal. Handle with care until the varnish goes on ;)

Oh they have come up well. Metal rub sucks!
