Pretty much done (Patreon)

Hey friends, 

so I pretty much finished the base. All that's left is to fix the tank to the road and make it "sit" with textured earth, just like with the T-90.

What I did since the last post was to brush some Aqualine on the ground, then speckle some dry earth from Ammo - all the same colors like I used on the tank.

Then I went over the grass again, this time with pure Yellow Green and then a few spots of that XF-89 to tone the brightness down a bit.

Next was the damp earth, again using the same Loose Ground like on the tank, I first applied it as a very heavy dot wash, then a lot of speckling including the banks where mud would splash on the grass, and finally stippling with an almost dry brush over and around the ruts. 

To finish off the fence I applied some diluted wash for german yellow and painted small rusty dots to imitate rusting nails. Finally I brushed the sides of the base with flat black Vallejo paint. 

Well, it could've been better, especially more original, but at the same time it could've been much worse... besides, I ordered the foam cutting board and the static grass applicator. So the next base should be much better, at least when it'll come to straight smooth sides and straight grass strands! 

I'll give you one more update tomorrow with the tank fixed in place and then I'll proceed to editing the video 😊
