Bennetts Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I built the Tamiya Char B1 out of the box and it was one of the easiest kits I have ever built especially for the amount of detail. I decided to paint it in the the experimental camouflage of Fantasque and used Echelon decals for the name and number markings. I think this has been the most fun build I have done in a long time actually regretted the finishing because wanted it to last longer. This is a rare feeling for me usually thank God that is over feeling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Wow....that's a camo I've never seen before! Did I understand you to say you actually painted those tree trunks and leaves on there; and only the name and numbers are decals? That's a really impressive and eye catching scheme!

Bennetts Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Thanks Gil. Yes the forest was painted on over Tamiya paint ,airbrushed on, using vallejo acrylics and a #0 brush. If you google "Fantasque Char B1" you can find the whole story of the experimental paint. It had been brush painted on by a French artist using a textured paint. It was a failure for; in use it was quickly covered in dirt and grime and achieved nothing. Either way it sure was an interesting scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
