金属活动履带涂装技术
PAINTING TECHNIQUES FORWORKABLE METAL TRACKS
我偏爱Friulmodel的白色合金履带套装，因为他们组装方便，分量足够而且还是可动的。
之所以我会喜欢，是因为这家的履带非常坚固，而且很容易涂装。您可以简简单单的就把Friulmodel履带平放在桌子上然后上色，做旧，然后把他们装到模型上。您还可以在Friulmodel的履带上涂抹厚厚的泥土或其他效果，他们都不会脱落。在这个例子中我会使用一种叫“Quick Rust”的产品来代替底色。这种水基混合物可以与白色金属的表面反应，使其氧化，形成天然的深锈色涂层，为前面三个例子已经探讨过的旧化步骤打下良好的基础。
I prefer Friulmodel white metal alloy tracksets because they are fairly easy to assembly, heavy and workable.
I also favour them because they are strong andeasy to paint. You can simply lay Friulmodel tracks flat across the table,paint them, and then wrap the runs around the running gear of the model. You can also apply thick coats of mud andother effects over runs of Friulmodel track and they will still work withoutfalling apart. For this example I willbe using a product called Quick Rust instead of a basecoat. This water basedchemical blend reacts with the surface of the white metal causing it tooxidize. The dark rusty surface that results makes a good initial coat for muchof the weathering steps already discussed in the last three examples.

为了氧化这些E-50的履带，我弄了个碗，倒入Quick Rust，然后准备了一套镊子和一把旧牙刷。我拉出一些销钉，把他们分成几段，这样可以让他们轻松的整个放到碗里，浸入Quick Rust溶液中。
To oxidize these runs of E-50 tracks Ineeded a bowl for the Quickrust, a set of tweezers and an old toothbrush. Ipulled a few of the wire pins out of the runs of track breaking them down intosections that could easily fit into the bowl.

把一段履带放入溶液之后，我用镊子夹住它来回的快速摇动，尽量让它浸泡的均匀。您会发现履带会立刻变为棕色，这个时候需要用刷子来除去履带中间可能产生的气泡。我建议每段履带泡在溶液里的时间大约在15秒左右。
After placing a section into the solution Iquickly shook them back and forth using the tweezers. You will notice that thetracks will start to turn brown immediately. A brush will be needed to removeair bubbles trapped inside of the treads. I would recommend keeping each of thesections in the solution for about 15 seconds.

在这段履带取出之后，您还可以用蘸有Quick Rust的旧牙刷在履带上再刷几遍，让溶液彻底进入各个关节处可能存在的气泡中。接下来让履带静置几分钟就可以了。有时候根据需要，还可以再施加额外的Quick Rust来制造更多的锈蚀效果。
After removing the section you can also usean old toothbrush dampened with Quick Rust to brush more of the solution intothe treads where air bubbles might have been trapped. After letting the tracksit for a few minutes you can sometimes create more rust tones by applyingadditional amounts of the Quick Rust.

这时候，您可能还会看到一些白色的金属碎屑（译者注：可能还是是因为小气泡的缘故）。您可以使用蘸有Quick rust的牙签来小心的擦拭这些地方。另外还有一种情况，这些合金有时会与QuickRust发生反应，在生锈表面流下来一些随机的看起来像是盐一样的涂层，这时候可以用硬质的刷子除去这一层盐。
You might still see some patches of whitemetal where the solution did not reach. You can rub these places using atoothpick dampened with the Quick Rust. One of the metals that make up thewhite metal alloy will sometimes react with the Quick Rust leaving what looks likerandom fine layers of salt on the rusty surface. Some of this salt can beremoved using a stiff brush.

好了，现在我有了一个漂亮的锈棕色底色。接下来我把每一段都按照上面的步骤做好，再重新拼接起来。这时候我就可以开始添加泥土色调或者应用更多的锈色。
I now have a nice rusty brown basecoat.Next I reassembled the sections of track. I could start adding the earth tonesat this point or apply some more rust tones.

用丙烯水漆随机的喷涂一些锈蚀色调，然后再用斑点法，弹一些珐琅漆的浅锈色调
I applied some additional corrosion tonesby airbrushing random light coats of acrylics and then speckling enamels.

我旧化这两组履带的技术基本还是采用了本章前面几节内容中展示的步骤。因此这里我就简要的介绍一下。首先还是将一些天然土随机的刷在轨道上，然后用稀释剂混合晕开。
The techniques that I used to weather thesetwo sets of track will be more of a review of the steps seen in the previousparts of this chapter so I will be brief with my descriptions. I started bybrushing some random tones of pigments onto the tracks and blended them usingenamel thinner.

用田宫漆，天然土，石膏，与水稀释之后做的厚泥浆涂在履带外部。然后蘸上这些泥浆用斑点法继续施加一层获得额外的质地。等泥浆干燥之后，用硬笔刷把履带的镂空部分清理一下，同时增加更多的纹理。
A thick slurry made from Tamiya paints,pigments and Plaster of Paris thinned with water was brushed over the exteriorof the track. Additional amounts of the same slurry were then speckled foradditional texture. After the slurry had time to dry I chipped away the accesswhile at the same time adding more texture using a stiff-bristled brush.

用Humbrol珐琅漆，天然土和珐琅清漆调制深色湿泥土，随机的涂在履带上，并用稀释剂混合晕开。当然，还可以用斑点法再弹一些上去。
Darker satin earth tones mixed from brownHumbrol enamel, pigments and a gloss varnish were randomly brushed on the trackand blended.

接下来，使用珐琅清漆添加一些潮湿区域。
Next an enamel gloss was used to add somewet areas.

用砂纸把履带外侧抛一下光，露出防滑钉上的白色金属材质。然后用铅笔抛光一下履带内侧，再用箭头橡皮把铅笔印记有效的混合起来。形成正式的金属磨损效果。
The outer sides of the track were polishedusing sandpaper to expose the white metal on the raised cleats. The polishedmetallic inner sides of the tracks where obtained using a large pencil thenblended using a rubber tipped artist sharpener.
这一期，我们已经介绍了四种履带旧化的例子。和模型其余部分旧化用到的材料和方法大致相同。但有时候技法也会根据履带的材质、活动性要求而不同。履带应该像模型其他部分一样被我们认真的涂装和旧化，确保他们既真实又有趣。下面，我们继续举例说明如何在模型上添加厚重的尘土和泥土效果。
At this point we have covered four examples forweathering tracks. Most of the paints and methods used are the same as the onesapplied to the rest of the model. Sometimes these techniques can vary as to howfragile the tracks are, if they are workable or not and what they are madefrom. Tracks should be weathered in layers like the rest of the AFV to ensurethat they are both authentic and interesting to look at. Let’s continue withsome examples of adding heavy dust and thick layers of earth onto a model.
