HOW TO Paint RUBBER! (Tracks Or Wheels) - Soviet Ball Tank "Sharotank" (Miniart 1/35)

Most of us armor modellers are used to paint standard linked metal tracks with an occasional rubber tire here and there. But how about a full blown MASSIVE track made from rubber? Well...
Here's how I did it. And the cool thing is that this process can be used on wheels, I mean tires. Especially the BIG ones like we see on trucks, heavy machinery or tractors.

I think it's very refreshing when you're building just one type of models (tanks in my case) and from time to time you build a model that has something DIFFERENT, which, in this case, was the huge rubber track. It somewhat breaks the routine and keeps the hobby more interesting and somewhat challenging, as you have to figure out how to make/paint/weather something different. What do you think mates? Fun or not fun?

The amount of work you've put into this model is just incredible! But by using so many techniques, this one model can serve as a reference to show how to do them. Most of the tricks you've used here wouldn't even have occurred to me.

Thanks a lot for your nice words Ken. Yes these videos are a change which I desperately needed, otherwise I would completely burn out. I had to remind myself I can build a simple model without spending almost a year constructing it. And if someone finds these useful, then it's a time well spent.

@brucethemodelnoob 5 жыл бұрын

Night Shift no I definitely wouldn’t follow the whole process... but I can do a couple of the steps. Maybe paint them grey, a bit of lighter grey highlight around the edge, then a black wash?

@NightShiftScaleModels 5 жыл бұрын

I mean, you can try it! But I personally never do anything beside a simple dark grey coat on those types of wheels. As soon as you lay down the first dust effect it will create a nice mottled surface and act as a wash around torn out chunks of rubber and details (like Continental logos on Pz IV wheels).

Hi mate! Love your tutorials. I was wondering, do you do a clear coat in between your acrylic steps and enamel steps? I'm quite new to using enamels for weathering and I worry the thinners will scrub the surface clean of acrylics. Keep up the great work!

@GiftofChaosStudio 4 жыл бұрын

You shouldn't need to. Mineral spirits won't attack the acrylic paint. If you're using chipping fluid or hairspray, I'd recommend it to protect the base coat since the fluid works by being dissolved with water

May I ask what did you use as a black wash (if you remember :) ) ? Yours seems to be working more like a filter, toning everything down and it fits nicely with paint layers. I've tried Oil + thinner and Tamiya black panel liner, and both doesn't seems to be working even remotely like on your video in 9:10

what is "chipping fluid?"

@ievgentaranskyi1373 5 жыл бұрын

We need to find out what chipping is, and chipping fluid will be for that process))) I have no idea too by the way

@vladalexander7489 5 жыл бұрын

Basically, chipping fluid is a fluid that replicates chipping in model kits. Now you might ask what is then chipping, it's when you have an old wall or door or anything and the paint comes off, exposing the metal or wood or whatever it's made of. In model kits, you apply chipping fluid ( just like in the video) on the base coat of a part. For example, you would paint a part metallic, add chipping fluid, add the camouflage or paint, and then scrape it away. That way you still have some part of camouflage, but it looks worn out and old. Hope that helps!))
