Tracks…after Floquil Ancient Bronze misting…
…painted areas where the wheels ride a new to me color, Vallejo Oily Steel…then followed with a light wash of VMS Smart Rust thinned 1 to 1 with water on the other areas. Taking care to stay off the tire wear areas. This isn’t strictly realistic but I like the visual impact.
Both sides.
I hit the outermost areas and blended to the wash to middle.
Yielded this…
The dirt & dust will get applied once the model is on the base to help blend with ground work.
Honestly, not impressed with Vallejo Oily Steel, wish I’d stayed wirh my conventional mix of Floquil Chainmail & Floquil Bright Silver. Decided to hit it with a heavy rub down of AK or Mig’s Graphite pigment powder in the middle to get a little variation. Top has graphite powder bottom doesn’t.
Likewise on the other side. Top with Graphite powder.
Result…
Calling it on the tracks for now. I think with a final blend of dirt and ground work they’ll be OK.
It was fun trying new products but the Floquil isn’t going away.
