"Soviet Beast"-- TRUMPETER JS-2

May 1, 2024 · in Armor · · 9 · 179

This is a great kit by and the only soviet armor I've ever done in my 40+ years of modeling. I actually finished it years ago, but it was just green, flat and boring. I came back this week and decided to add a light whitewash to it, done with hairspray chipping and some oil rendering. I added metal tracks of course as the kit tracks didn't allow the sag and heaviness I was after of this monster tank.

I did all the weathering with pigments, oils, and some enamel washes. I also used the Ammo shaders, which I have come to really like as I am an airbrush addict for finishes. I used the dirt and grime and they are a pleasure to work with if you like using an airbrush for weathering. Nice satin, slimy finish.

Anyway, hope you like it. G
