Leman Russ Kartvelian Variant, Part 4: try camo with Soy based wax paper

One more day for the Bishkek Logo contest! Go here for details!

The Russ Kartvelian Variant got it's camo! I opted for a tri color scheme. I don't have an airbrush, so I used masking tape to create tight patterns. On the Valkyrie, I made it look jagged and pointy, on this one I wanted to cut the patters round and smooth. But cutting tape is hard, it always sticks to the scissors and breaks at really thin points.

So I decided to use wax paper to create stickers in a way, which allowed me to cut without ANY problems. Here it goes:

here's the wax paper that I used

tape a bunch of pieces to it

cut them all into shapes you want; the tape won't stick to your scissors

leave some wax paper on the ends to you can peel the tape easily, just like a sticker.

basecoat the tank, tape off the weapons so you don't lose details after spraying the model.

put on desert yellow from Testors

add the tape pieces

spray darker brown

add more pieces of tape on places where the darker color is visible and spray the 3rd color

Here's the end result

Hope this will work for you!

Next up: the weathering!
