At last, the finished model, shown here with its little brother.
To finish up, I started with a black wash to add a bit of weathering. This part actually ended up being a little tricky. When the base coat dried, it dried very smooth. When I added the wash, it didn’t lay quite right, and had to go over some parts several times. The overall effect came out alright, but not exactly what I was hoping for.
The periscope ports were painted gold, like the driver’s periscope on an Abrams tank, and the pintle MG was painted metallic black. I decided not to do any drybrushing on this model, and go for a more natural look.
For the antenna, I drilled a small hole in the roof, and superglued a single bristle from a long-bristled nylon brush I bought just for this purpose.
Here is the model shown with the miniatures for which it’s intended. These are also Ground Zero Games figures from the NAC army (although in my particular background, they’re UN troops). As you can see, the scale came out quite nice.
Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed following along on this project with me. I’ll post another picture of the entire platoon, once all four are complete.
