Models by Battlefront from their SBX12 Soviet Heavy Assault Gun Company box. Good sculpts with a few individual details, done here as ISU-122s.
These were painted largely by airbrush, base coat and highlight of panels and a few edges by brush, followed by a thinned oil wash over all of the vehicle to tone down the highlights and blend the colours together. The transition is too stark in places, though the lighting makes this more evident than would normally be seen.

They are spectacular, cdt.
ReplyDeleteThose look great! Love the airbrushed highlights in particular
ReplyDeleteFantastic result. They look excellent.
ReplyDeleteCheers
wonderful. How did you airbrush the panels please?
ReplyDeleteOverall spray of Russian Green, followed by a lighter mix of Russian Green and Panzer Aces Italian Tankcrew... a lighter, pale green. Adding white, ivory or similar would work too.
DeleteThe lighter colour was thinned a fair bit, then sprayed in the centre of panels at a lower than normal PSI (don't remember what, but something that feels good). This colour was then slowly built up to provide coverage until it looks right.It take some practice and patience but results are beginning to be worth it.

Thanks Javier.
DeleteThe IS-2 Commander was painted in colours similar to those Ritterkrieg uses on his Soviet Infantry. His tutorial on Soviet infantry might be useful to you: http://www3.telus.net/Ritterkrieg/progress5.htm
The Commanders in the ISU-122s were painted Khaki Grey, Burnt Umber for shadows, Buff/Bleached Bone mixed into Khaki Grey for the highlights.
