Re: Italian Puma 4x4
Thanks for the comments guys. I too was surprised by the speed of this build. I didn't intend to go that fast but the kit helped
Basic three-tone is painted, the salt has been sprinkled this morning and I'll spray the UN white soon. Stay tuned

Re: Italian Puma 4x4
Hi all,
here are some pictures of the weathering steps.
The first series shows the effect of the salt chipping. I'm not fully satisfied because I used to small grains of salt so it was a bit hard to remove all of them.
The second series shows the beginning of the weathering per se. I used some Tamiya Gray Panel Line as a pin wash and some Burnt Sienna as a filter on top of the vehicle.
More to follow!

Great work Olivier
The cable cutter(?) makes it look like it's designed to hook onto airships...

I have tried salt before and did not have much luck. Is seemed to leave a lot of residue.
But yours looks good from here.

Re: Italian Puma 4x4
I agree with Shawn, Olivier. I find salt tends to leave a residue though it could well be the way I do it. I much prefer the chipping solutions now. However, to get a chipped layer over several coats, salt forms a necessary part.
I like what you've done so far.
Cheers,
Vincent

Re: Italian Puma 4x4
Thanks for the comments guys. Yes salt leaves some residue especially when you use too small grains like I did. Lesson learned for a next attempt. I think the trick is to filter the grains through a mesh to get the appropriate size only. Thus you eliminate the kind of dust which constitutes the residue.
Anyway, I found it easier than the hairspray technique that I haven't managed so far. I need much more training with this one, I guess.
Philipp, I must say I was intrigued by your comment so I clicked on your link! Really weird concept indeed.

Re: Italian Puma 4x4
Wow, that was quick. Nice paint weathering so far, will you be going for a dirty finish like in the reference photo?

thanks for the comment, the dirty finish was my intent when I started this build. I still have to figure out how to represent the muddy look of the undercarriage.

Re: Italian Puma 4x4
Olivier- Have you tried Tamiya paints when you attempt the hair spray tech. By far they work the best IMHO of course. I've done it a few times and it has always worked like a treat.
