M18 got its base color

After hours swearing, sanding and re-attaching those damned PE parts that seem to fall off every time i only look at the model i finaly got it airbrushed in the base color.

 

Instead of using the OD color surface primer i used the white one this time. The reason for this is i wanted to try a different shading technique. This technique basicly consist of creating a grey tinted version of your model first and then spray it with thin layers of your base color resulting in a beautyful shadowed model.

On paper (and with a german grey vehicle) this worked like a charm but on my OD verhicle and using Vallejo paint the base color came out to yellow so i ended up doing the basic pre-shading steps

The mantle cover still needs it base kakhi color.
