Dragon M3 A1 Half Track 1/35 scale ACRYLIC PAINTING

[@gavinbooth]

You can feel the cold radiating from the bench marra . When you can capture an atmosphere with no diorama you know you've done a proper job . Regards Gav.

I'm not worthy of such kind comments my friend. Coming from an artist like yourself that means a lot. Many thanks my friend. Look after yourself mate and speak soon. P.S. Will you be at Telford this year? It would be nice to meet up if you are.

If I tap this with my finger, it sounds like a real steel ! Great work ! 🤩

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Thats very kind of you to say my friend. Really appreciate your kind words and continued support. Take care and happy modelling

[@JeffDonahueScaleModeling]

Hi Steve, Beautiful work as always. You really do a great job with your painting and weathering. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day my friend. Jeff

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Hi Jeff. I'm surprised you have time to look in my friend with all the work you are doing at the moment LOL. I am really enjoying your build. Many thanks for the comments and continued support. Take care and happy modelling!

@@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite I really enjoy your videos Steve. Have a great day. Jeff

Hi mate It’s really looking great Steve! You just can’t beat that lived in look and weathered appearance, makes it so much more interesting than it’s just gone through a car wash! Thanks for sharing your fantastic build video ❤😊

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Hi Michael. Glad you like the weathered look as there is plenty more to come. It currently looks like it has been through a muddy blizzard LOL. Hope to get an update and final reveal in November. Thanks for hanging in there and your continued support. Speak soon my friend and happy modelling

[@ThatMofoDamon]

Beautiful work Steve like you say adding the layers to get the effect you need often with happy accidents along the way 👍👍👌👌

Wonderful work Steve, your attention to detail is amazing! Take care and model on my friend. Johnny

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Hi Johnny. Hope all is well. With the M31 done whats next up for you my friend? Many thanks for your kind words. Have a great week and speak soon

[@hillbillymodeling]

@@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite I think maybe a water vessel, I've been wanting to build a swift boat! LOL. Take care.

[@LZScaleModeling]

Hi Steve. The winter camo is absolutely realistic. But what I like so much is the extreme level of attention you put on painting the details so adding a touch of life to the entire model.

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Hi LZ. You are spot on with your observations. The world around us is full of colour and I try and incorporate that in my builds to add that touch of realism. Many thanks for your kind comments. Take care my friend and happy modelling.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Looks really good Steve 👍lovely details, really nice👍😎

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Hi Pete. Great to hear from you my friend and many thanks for your kind words. Take care and speak soon

[@jimrafe3109]

A very interesting video Steve. The half track is looking superb. You get excellent results from your acrylic washes, especially as you're only diluting with water - no retarder or flow enhancer. Also dry brushing acrylics is not without it's difficulties but again your work is impressive. Layering effects is definitely the way to go. Take care and happy mogglin.

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Hi Jim. I hope all is well my friend. Its been a lot of fun and great practice. I think I can now tick the box for doing stowage okay now LOL. Really appreciate your kind words. Take care my friend and happy modelling

[@joramamodellbau3987]

Brilliant work with wonderfully highlighted details. Absolute great to see how this half track develops. It's a joy to see works like this, Steve. Greetings, Joachim

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Hi Joachim. I hope all is well my friend. Really appreciate your kind words and continued support. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out as well LOL. Take care my friend and speak soon

[@paulysworkbench]

The half-track looks great, Steve! Your use of Smoke as a transition blend is very interesting. I'm going to half to give that a try. Cheers, my friend

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Hi Pauly. I hope you are well my friend. Smoke is one of my go to washes to blend all the colours together. The other is Burnt Umber but that has more of a red tint which is ideal for some wood and exhausts. Take care and many thanks for your kind words

[@paulysworkbench]

@@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite All good here. Hope you are the same. Sepia/burnt/raw umber are my go-tos for washes. I like the effect you achieved with the smoke. I'm going to try it. Cheers, my friend

[@greybeardmodels]

Nice work there Steve, I particularly like the idea of contrasting colours effect. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers Bob 👍

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Hi Bob. I hope you are well. Not long to go before the world cup. Looking forward to that immensely. Many thanks for your kind words. Take care my friend and happy modelling!

[@tomatoes3]

Love the commentary, nicely explained Steve. Colours of the " crap in the back " great, interesting method of achieving, really liked that .Hope you are both well 👍JR

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Hello mate. I hope all is well. Thanks for the positive feedback on the video. Hope you and the family are well. Hoping to get into the garden next weekend to cut everything back and get it ready for next Spring. Take care my friend and speak soon

@@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite pleasure Steve hope you’re good - sorted spraying 1/72 Mig17 by airfix - I think the colour directions are messed up 🤣

[@anyblunder6782]

It’s coming along nicely, Steve. The stowage really looks great. I’ve got shaky hands as well. 😂. In my scale that’s really a problem. Sometimes I even forget to breathe. Nevertheless you have a great result here. Many kind regards, Any.

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Great to hear from you Any. What are you working on at the moment? The shaky hands comes and goes and adds another level of complexity to the painting process. When I do 1/72 I do tend to build up colour with washes as they seem to be more manageable than straight forward brush work. Many thanks for your kind words my friend. Take care and speak soon

[@anyblunder6782]

Hi Steve, I’m currently working on a Jagdtiger and Tatra in a diorama. The Jagdtiger is the one from Dragon with the crane. Lots of fun and working out well. Cheers, Any.

Good luck with the cabling on that one! LOL
