    ENVIRONMENT

    EFFECTS FOR
    VEHICLES
    SCRAPES
    Start off with a light drybrush of muck on the lower areas of the
    tank. Mix it up with some greens and browns to simulate battle
    grime.

    Continue the muck drybrush, but only move your brush in one
    direction to give the impression that the vehicle was scraped
    during a high-speed maneuver.

    Keep going with your singular direction drybrush, but this time,
    use some Boltgun Metal for the metal that will inevitable begin to
    show through the outer layer of paint. Go over the Boltgun Metal
    layer one more time with a brown to finish up.

    DUST
    Using a tank brush, lay down a uniform drybrush with a dark
    color like Scorched Brown. Stick to the lower half of the tank
    body and treads.

    Do the same thing again, only this time, change the color choice
    to a slightly brighter selection and concentrate on a few areas in
    particular.

    Go back in for a final drybrush, but pay attention to only a few


    spots in particular. The secret to this effect is a steady, uniform
    drybrush. Achieve this effect by making sure very, very little
    paint is left on your brush during each drybrush application.
    MUD
    Grab some superglue and smear a decent quantity over the lower
    half of the tank and tracks. Concentrate on the front of the tank.
    Then, quickly dip the tank into some sand. This step will be
    messy, so be careful!

    Let the sand and superglue dry completely before proceeding.


    Paint the sand Chaos Black and then heavily drybrush it with
    Scorched Brown. Don't worry about any of the white superglue
    "mist;" it'll get taken care of soon enough.

    Drybrush the sand again with a lighter earth tone like Dark Flesh
    or Bestial Brown. It's okay to be sloppy and overpaint onto the
    tank itself. We are trying to simulate mud after all.

    Finish up your tank by spattering the sides of the vehicle with


    brown paint. Use an old toothbrush dipped in brown paint and
    pull back on the bristles while aiming them at the tank. Or just
    apply some paint to your fingers and flick them at the tank!

    SNOW
    Start off by mucking up the lower body of the tank. Apply a light
    drybrush or stippling of a pleasing earth tone like Scorched
    Brown or Graveyard Earth.

    Time to make snow. Using a can of Skull White primer, gently


    spritz the tank's lower half from a good distance away. Practice
    on a scrap of cardboard before committing to the actual tank in
    order to get the technique down.

    Add larger snow spots by using one those foam squares that
    come in blister packs. Dip an end of the square into some Skull
    White and wipe off the excess paint on a paper towel. Using this
    "brush," liberally sponge the tank to produce a frosty effect.
    BLASTS
    This effect takes some forethought. During the actual
    construction of the tank, use a Dremmel or drill to add small
    dimples and shell indentations. Then paint the tank as you would
    regularly.

    Carefully jab at the shell markings with a large drybrush and


    some Bestial Brown. Lay the paint on in a circular fashion.

    Continue to jab and stipple the paint into the shell markings with
    a darker shade of brown. Stick to painting just the center of the
    dents and leave a lighter haze of brown around the edges.

    Finish the effect by painting some Boltgun Metal straight into the
    center of the shell impacts. A watered-down wash of Chestnut
    Ink can be used to simulate rust if desired.
