The Great War Tank! Expansion Whippets
As previously mentioned, I thought Id do a post on how I painted my models from The Great War Tank! expansion. In this case, these are the three Whippet tanks which I got for my original Kickstarter backer £10 bonus. The principles I have employed on these three tanks are exactly the same as all the other vehicles that came with my package and are very simple to follow. First off, here is how the models actually arrive. There is a basic paint job on them, the markings on the tracks and a garish red exhaust. But other than that they are pretty plain, some may like them like that, but they are too plain for me! The first thing to do was give the models an inkwash with some slightly watered down Vallejo Black Ink . I dont remember the exact ratio, but it was probably three lots of ink to one of water. Im not very precise about these things... This was liberally applied to the entire bodywork of the tanks and left to dry for a few hours. Once the ink had dried, I painted the tracks...
