Pic N1: We use the spare tire of a M 26 recovery vehicle as example. First the tire is painted with the acrylic color Zashchitniy Zeleno XB 518 A.MIG-083. Then we apply paint chips of different sizes and shapes on the edges with Reseda Green A.MIG-003 acrylic paint.
Pic N2: We scrub the entire surface of the black vinyl material used for the rubber parts with a scouring pad to get rid of its shiny surface.
Pic N3: We use now a filter Tan for Yellow Green A.MIG-1507 and pigment Europe Earth A.MIG-3004 to represent dry earth.
Pic N4: We mix the filter and pigments to create a wash that will be applied all over the wheel and tire, focusing more on the nooks and crannies. The filter works as a binding agent for the pigment.
Pic N5: Here you can see the result once the wash has dried.
Pic N6: We use a cotton bud to remove the excess wash from the high points –like the thread portions that are in contact with the ground or the edges of the rims–. On the other hand, the pigments accumulated in the recesses of the thread pattern are left undisturbed.
Pic N7: Matt Black A.MIG-046 acrylic is applied with a piece of sponge or foam. Firstly we dab the foam in the paint and then unload the excess onto a kitchen paper and then it´s rubbed on the thread pattern and edges of the tire to bring back the original rubber color.
Pic N8: To add some contrast to the tire we apply a light coat of Africa Korps Wash A.MIG-1001 in a few spots, trying not to overdo it.
Pic N9: Final result.
