Re: Char St Chamond early production
Thank you Steve!
I'm halfway happy with the results. I plan to have the tank plowing through heavy terrain, so at least the lower half should be reasonably dirty. I might add a French infantryman, but haven't decided yet.

Re: Char St Chamond early production
Looks great Philipp!
I have to concur here with Steve - dust it, don't mud it!
It looks really good, no brush marks to speak of!
It would have got stuck immediately anyway when confronted by a trench system .
Seriously, why do so many sides in the great war build tanks that really CAN'T cross trenches?
Best regards

Nice job hand brushing the Tamiya. That paint isn't easy to brush.

Re: Char St Chamond early production
Thanks again everyone!
Raoul, are you suggesting the western front of WWI was at times not a blood-soaked sea of mud from August 1914 to November 1918?
Bryan, some other brand might have been better and easier, but I had to use what I had available. Supposedly that paint retarder Tamiya is selling makes them a lot easier to brush. I need to remember that before I try this again. If I try this again

Re: Char St Chamond early production
Thanks gents! To my surprise it seems to have worked out just as intended, even with less than optimal paint.
I try to get the detail painting done today, more on that soon.

Re: Char St Chamond early production
After a break that turned out way too long I finally tried to continue with this thing. Did another clear coat to seal in the decals, which set off the smoke alarm for the first time since I live in this place. In addition I felt rather dizzy afterwards. Looks like I finally need to get a spray cabin...
