That looks like an excellent tutorial....lots of progress pics for us that want to learn please !

Yes, a very good book with excellent techniques. It is slanted towards selling AMMO products, which is only natural. But the same results can be obtained with enamels and oils. I hear there are vids on YouTube where the same techniques are being demonstrated. I haven't seen them myself but they must be worth checking out.

After a coat of primer and pre-shading:



Mr. Surfacer 1200 and Gunze Olive Drab for the shading.



Laying down the base coat is in progress.

The base color is on.

Is there a better way to start Sunday than with a good coffee and a session of mottling?  



In keeping with the Wehrmacht colors, this is RLM 82 (Gunze)

Turns out the big dog is a SAR dog!

A big SAR dog? Needs to have a little barrel of rum 'round its neck!   

[NARSES2]

Or schnapps 

[MichelC]

Rum? Schnapps? You guys taken a look at the camo? A tank of good ol' H2O's more like it!

Yeah, well, I'm not sure you got the camo scheme right. Big SAR dogs seem to have white lowers with reddish/tan camo spots on the flanks and upper side, plus black detailing on the head. And definitely a barrel of rum or schnapps 'round their neck.













Here's a pic:

I thought it was Brandy in the barrel.

Haha, the pic doesn't show but yeah, I get the idea. Guess I have to strip the paint and start from the beginning! 

BTW, I'm not getting notifications anymore of new posts. Is that my problem of the forum's?

Traditionally it is, but since the service has been privatised they go to the highest bidder

May be the site. There is a problem with notification of PM's for some people. Tom is looking into the whole area of where the site goes "service" wise at the moment. News in the new year about planed improvements

Thanks, NARSES2. If it may help: I've stopped receiving notifications a couples months ago.

Post-shading of the crosses:



Painting of the details. I used Vallejos, Vallejo Air metalics and inks in places as well as graphite powder for some of the metallic finishes.
