I finally got to the "finished" stage of my SdKfz 222 1:35 scale model!

It's meant to picture an aged 222 of the Großdeutschland division, with original dark grey German vehicle color painted over with late-war dark yellow in a camouflage pattern, then given a whitewash for the Russian winter.

It's built from the Tamiya #35270 box (picture), with some homemade gas can holders from strips of soda can, a few aftermarket metal parts and a turret canvas made of paper. (How did Relic come up with this? I can't find any real photos of this canvas!)

Painting is done with Humbrol model enamels and acrylics and cheap oil paints you can get from any painting store.
The snow is household sodium carbonate, fixed with thinned PVA glue.

I never expected it to turn out this good :)

Here's some pictures!






Many more on my Dropbox.

Now to build a nice glass container so it won't get dusty while sitting on my desk inspiring me to play CoH2..

What technique did you use

Edit: Technique for paiting like Zenithal Lighting, Colour Modulation and so on.

Nope, this is the only one, this is my first model since I was a child, some 20 years ago. ;)

For a first model it's fantastic!
The photos could've been better though. The green background is horrible :P Black or white would be perfect.

Maybe some day, right now I'm thinking of either some infantry to accompany the 222 or a SU-76, T-70 or ZiS-3 to fight it :D

Just read up on those things; I've heard a little about it, but didn't use it. I could maybe give it a dark filter on the lower surfaces, but I don't think it's necessary.

I only used paintbrushes, no airbrush.
I started by painting everything german tank-grey, then the dark yellow camouflage on top. Then a few layers of very thin white oil paint, with brush strokes following gravity. Brushed thw white off again at hard edges to simulate paint wear.
Painted the details, shovel, exhaust etc., covered everything with a gloss varnish, then painted shadows with very thin dark black/blue oil paint, letting the paint flow into crevices and along edges (thus the gloss varnish).
Decals on, cover everything with matt varnish, then painted thin PVA glue on areas for snow, and lightly made it snow with sodium carbonate. Waited for the glue to dry and blew the excess off.
I think that was it :D

Good stuff! Well done on the snow and other weathering.

Did you use http://armorama.kitmaker.net/ as a source of techniques? I found that site to be fantastic when doing my Tiger builds a couple of years ago.
