Ok lets put on some shades...

This is a finished image of the shading done so far and the paints used.

This is the starting point. The turret is primed with Nato Black

We begin by adding a overspray of Nato Black and a few drops of German Grey.

Next we move to German Grey and begin to define the panels and major components.

German Grey and few drops of Sky Grey and Medium Blue highlight the panels further.

Then we finish off with Sky grey with a few drops of German Grey.

Further on in the process I may go back and re-shade some areas.

Now I use Light Grey to highlight some raised details to add more light to the model.

Now it's time to add the oil wash. This is the first wash. There may be several before we're done. This one is a dark grey wash made from Windsor and Newton Flake White and Mars Black. This will tone down the colors and blend them together.

Notice the brush strokes give a sense of streaking and paint wear.

Next we will be doing some early dry brushing and tinting.
