Infantry Squad 311 Chimera













So this is the first vehicle I have painted for the army. It's a chimera (with multilaser and hull heavy flamer) that will serve as the transport of the 1st infantry squad of the 3rd platoon. Thus the vehicle marking 311, but I will explain how these vehicle markings work in another post.
It was the first time I used all those weathering techniques and it was all quite new to me. I watched those 2 DVD's from MIG productions and they were very useful but I never got my hands full on a project like this. Lots of time it was guess work (especially with the oil paints) but in the end it seems to work. I am starting to get the whole process down and I'll describe in detail what I do when I am 100% sure (since I will be following the same steps for every vehicle).
I was criticized for using too much mud on the vehicle so I will try to tone down the effect next time.
