Hi everyone. I've been looking at these and other armor modeling forums for years and now decided to join in. I'm currently working on the Tamiya Greyhound and here's what I've got so far:






1st stage: I sprayed the upper part with 2/3 Tamiya olive green and 1/3 flat white so the coat with future won't darken it too much. The bottom was sprayed with flat earth. I then brushed the machine guns flat black as base coat and brushed the tires lightly with german grey and same with the appropriate color for the center of the wheel.









2nd stage: After I detail painted the pioneer tools. I added some black and a little brown to give them a worn look, after the paint dried I gave it a coat of future. After the application of future I applied the decals, which was sloppily done, I trimmed off a little too much off of some of them!
Soon I will apply another coat of future, apply washes and do some more detail painting. Comments welcome!

Hi Terry,

Great looking M8! Be sure to put up more pics when you're finished with it!

Good start for weathering, keep us posted!

nice, I look forward to the finished product, will it be in a diorama?

I really appreciate them. However this will not be part of a diorama.

I just added the wash to my model. I first started with a dark green wash at the top and began to add more brown towards the bottom:




I'm still wondering if I'll settle for the results and move on with drybrushing. Comments welcome!

I like it, but what happened to your antennas?
