First coat on Renault FT
Permalink   


Well this is the base coat for my Hat Renault FT. Do not adjust the settings on your monitor it really is that gaudy! However all is not lost as I have quite a few more steps to go before it is done. I still have the tracks to paint and there is still a bit of touch up left to do. The colors are brush painted using Tamiya paints. The sand is Desert Yellow lightened a great deal with white and the other colors are Brown and Field Gray. I just wanted to show that progress is being made and I hope you all like it so far. It represents no particular tank but I hope to paint in some markings when it is completely dry.

Thank you all for the encouragement. I painted the tracks with gun metal and I am now planning on the markings. They will be simple as I intend to weather it quite a bit.
I will say this though, I have been to a lot of forums but this is the best! Everyone is so helpful and encouraging as well as very polite. Some forums I have been to have had some of the nastiest post I have ever seen. People tearing each other down and arguing like children. But not here. It is a fascinating and highly knowledgeable group of people here. Thank you all.
