The Great Canadian Campaign!

Now are you talking old school wash, or new fan dangled ‘Spanish School’ wash?

For my AML 90 in the Snow White campaign, I tried dark grey and did not like it, so I went back and resprayed white, then used Vallejo German Camouflage black brown 70822 for the pin wash. That was much better.

I did no overall wash (Filter) as I was trying to replicate the weathering on a a specific picture

Okay, my start pic. [IMG_25971] I was going to do this Irish vehicle, a part of the UNIFIL mission, as Echelon do decals for it, but the rear end in the pic seems to be very different to the kit one. This vehicle seems to almost be a hybrid of the AML 90 and Eland with a flat rear and horizontal deck, as opposed to the recessed sloped rear normally seen on AML 90’s and depicted in the Takom kit. Obviously these vehicles were upgraded over time.and they have been part of UNIFIL for the 23 year…

I used Vallejo US Tan Earth in selected places to add a grime effect, and a little more where there was dirt and mud build up. Lebanon does not have sticky mud like the Russian Steppes, so the mud had to be light.

When I did the pin wash, I brushed it outward a bit to darken the area around the detail, then went over it with Vallejo Cold White as a dry brush to lick out the white and blend the pin wash wash. I was happy with the result overall - my first white vehicle.

Okay calling the Takom AML 90 in Irish UNFIL service done. Had some fun with doing the all white, as this first time I have ever done that. Great idea Richard. Made up some figures from bits and pieces in the spares box. [IMG_2669s] [IMG_2670] [IMG_2671s] [IMG_2672s] Cheers everyone
