I think snow and ice would look good the white would really contrast against the pale blue's and make them pop. just an after thought too I would go dark blue on the space between the engine exhausts rather than light.

Very clean and crisp. You can use some tape across the thigh to get a bigger contrast from knee pads when airbrushing, nice skills . . . are you going to do any battle damage?

Masking tape you can use it to help seperate areas of the model off so you dont get paint on them.

oh... tnx :D. I use airbrush without this tipe of tool, i think is more faster with tape to do light ^^.
I have a question, on tenks how i do real illumination? the upper part with light blue and corner in white, and the bottom part with dark blue? i never paint a vehicle with this technic :(

A lot of pre-shading and focus on edges. Flat surface don't catch much light. A longer fade from top to bottom too, more dark than light. Hope that helps.

Hi Aresius, Looking good your next step to bring it back to less of a baby blue is to make up a wash of the primary colour and use it as a wash realy diluted which will pull the colours back in. You could think about working the highlights back up with a brush on each pannel, after that a darker diluted blue to give shadow on pannels. . this will give you more deffinition between the sheets of metal.

hope this idea will work for you. nice job on the white lining, you could also use a wash to get into the crevices.

Top job on the airbrush work.

Its like a glaze I guess, but I would be using it like a wash (85% water 15% paint aprox), pretty much all over the model except for the darkest areas, letting it collect in the recesses to help with contrast.

For the finer details like re-highlighting defenatley glaze work as you want to be tidy and precise and maintain the layers of colour.

Good progress, its looking more like the original picture with the black lining. you could use a little glazing for a few highlights on pannels that stand out less is more so not the whole thing. Just enough to give the viewer the idea.

good start on the OSL but the ligh source does not match the OSL it needs to be brighter almost white with some yellow to give the impression of illumination.

Hope that helps.
Hows your free hand? Are you going to put a 1 on the vehicle like the pic or anything else?

I'm not good in free hand :D.
Ok so, next step is to bright the light. If i put some battle damage with a sponge on the plate is a good idea? i never do this before and i don't know if is easy do to. (sorry for my terrible english)
