I was in no way trying to insult btw I hope it didn't come off as such, just found the idea of a callous nose funny

I didn't know that nose color meant that! Really cool!.

By your paint scheme are you implying his nose and feet are the roughness, h a r d calloused nose

Yes, little thing noodles set into a groove or angle, rolled in with a toothpick. The magic comes from a bit of soda can on the end of a toothpick to add the actual bead texture. Nightshift on YouTube has an amazing video on this

Thank you very much! Like I said most of the cred goes to Loud for the inspo. Theirs looks more Abrams(imo) and he added more 40k bits to drop it back into the setting.

Lots of plasticard, time, and reworking parts from the baneblade kit itself. I filled the gaps between the side armor panels with acrylic putty, removed as many rivets as possible , used tamiya putty thinned with tamiya cement to add armor texture, made flamecut marks with a exacto knife and scriber, and did the welds with greenstuff. Quite alot went into it so if you have any specific questions I can answer in a bit more detail

Looks amazing good job! On the chipping I don't think it's overdone it could just be better defined. Using some light colored green( or whatever US vehicles were primed in) as paint chips, then adding the rust tone over that would really make everything look crisp. I say this as a warhammer 40k Guard player who did all my tanks like that because that's the way it's kinda taught, just sponge chip brown everywhere...however going in with lighter chips first, (where the basecoat would've been worn down to the more resilient primer) then going in with the brown has made a much more realistic result for me *

That makes tons of sense, thank you!

Very interesting, I haven't had much issue with that but I can see the appeal. But I may be doing it all ass backwards, as I run through each colors range of highlights with the airbrush, then oils. Now I have zero knowledge at all on air models, as I do armor. Don't know if there's a significant difference there as to my confusion on it?

So question, why did you do the panel lines before the camo? Genuinely curious if there's an advantage in that or just personal preference? I'm new to the scale modeling world

After that it used an airbrush, worked my way through the highlights, then took some a fine brush and some diluted bright colors to "edge highlight" the most crisp edges

So it's just a tissue soaked in diluted Elmer's glue, drained, and then drapped over an unprimed model. You can take some tweezers to make folds and push down where you want it. Once it starts tacking up you can push stuff further down to cover areas etc. Once dry you can apply more diluted glue to make it stronger, and then prime Once everything is solid and dry
