Two more commissioned projects done! These are just Retaliation HISS Tanks that are primed, repainted flat black, then dull coated. I added minor wear and tear on the exterior and some details to the cockpit.
I need a bigger back-drop!

Super sharp.
How did you do the canopies? Is that just from the dull coat? The "wear & tear" effects look really good. Makes a big difference. Nice work! |

Great paint job, looks like they're ready for combat. Makes me want to buy a few more of these.

That is from the dull coat. I used liquid mask, a liquid latex artist coating, to mask off the windows prior to priming and painting. After it all dried, I just peeled the masking off. I was torn between leaving it on to make the canopy clear or not. I think this adds more to the camo effect.

Thanks guys.

I was torn between leaving it on to make the canopy clear or not. I think this adds more to the camo effect. I agree that the windows look better, almost like a frosted diffusion effect. Now is it the lighting in the photos, or the dull coat that makes them look less black and more matte dark grey...? Also, the white decals look really good and are a nice contrast. These tanks just look SO much better in black than the original blue/silver color scheme. Just like the original HISS v5 that came out in brown and everyone hated it, yet when the black version (that was only seen at ROSS) came out it changed everyone's mind (well, not everyone but quite a few)... |

Love the tread design of the Retaliation HISS vs. the HISS v5. The v5 just doesn't roll as well. Neat feature, but lost on the kiddies. I never did see the black v5 out. Found plenty of brown and crimson though. Here on the island TARGET is pushing out the new Retaliation tanks. Hard to hunt here though as pickings are slim. Do most of my hunts online.
