Just in case my original post gets lost in the shuffle, here's the most recent progress of my Tiger I winter diorama. I've taken the Tiger through several layers of weathering, starting with painting chipping and wear, then general road film/grime, then progressing to rust and finally mud effects for the tracks and wheels as well as the various metal guards, etc. I hope to finally get the tank done and all the elements put together on the diorama base over the next week or so.

The tracks done with a simple base coat of Citadel Corax White spray followed by a wash of Citadel Contrast Skeleton Horde:

…progressing to the rust and mud effects. Both of them Vallejo products from their Environmental weathering series:
…and finally with the tracks attached and the mud effects applied:

And then the most recent weathering stage: adding some soot/grime effects to the exhaust shields. I decided to just use simple model paint for that and try a dry brushing technique. I think the overall effect is pretty convincing considering it's just dry brushed on paint:
In conclusion I want to mention that this is literally my first attempt in my entire hobbying life of doing a military diorama where I incorporated doing full scenery, an historical vehicle with full weathering and detailing, etc.
For the longest time I wanted to say I did at least one military diorama and decided to just dive in with both feet and get the experience of it! Hopefully it will turn out decently enough to display! |

coming along nicely, I think the exhaust effect worked well. Looking cold already…… |
