Matilda has got her make up on. Just had enough light stone... Literally had the dropper bottle dropper removed standing top down in a mixing pot to let the last drain out the bottle. (and get my SS ball bearing back )

I have faded the Silver grey a little on the top side of things to give it a hint of the famed light blue which was not blue... Light stone and slate making up the rest of the camouflage.
I guess a bit of dirt and dust is next together with a bit of oil and grease. Better paint the tools as well
Oh I went for the rubber band tracks by the way. As pointed out, so little of them are clearly seen. So playing with those to get them looking ok as well.

BSC No. 28 Silver Grey was actually a pale green For some reason, older sources made it out to be a pale blue-grey colour, and this keeps getting repeated all over the place. Mike Starmer’s mix for it is 5× Humbrol 74 Linen + 2× Humbrol 145 Medium Grey.I have faded the Silver grey a little on the top side of things to give it a hint of the famed light blue which was not blue...
Jeps. But when subjected to the baking desert sun it faded out (quite quickly in some cases) to a blue grey colour, which has led to people less informed...Tamiya for instance, thinking it was blue paint.BSC No. 28 Silver Grey was actually a pale green
Cheers Allen. I’m going to have to look up this Stevie character now aren’t I LOL…skin tones are my usual job of over all skin colour, highlights, flesh wash, then reinforced highlights…..pretty simple but gives great results….
First off - stunning work as always Tim. Very impressive.Wow Tim, I didn't know they made figures of Stevie (Jones) in that scale. Love the one in the middle with the 9 iron on his shoulder. Stevie would be proud!!! The shading and highlights of the skin tones are incredible Sir!!! Another fabulous job from the "Bench of Marlow".......
Prost auf Stevie
Allen
Ah….now it makes sense….must have been dumbass day here chez Marlow…..similar issues myself these days….not enough hair and too much belly……First off - stunning work as always Tim. Very impressive.
Now if you want figures of me looking like that you are going to have to go waaaaay back in the archives. Not only did l have muscles back then but loads of hair back in the days of the 70's mullet.
Nowadays you can just do flesh tones all over my barnet and a wheel barrow to carry my belly and crate of beer in. Luv you all! LOL
Looking very nice indeed Ianquick check in.

.... NOT ME !!!......Ah….now it makes sense….must have been dumbass day here chez Marlow…..similar issues myself these days….not enough hair and too much belly……
Thanks Andy. It builds well. Well it's a Tamiya so.... Might try and find another one (or two). Either that or a Churchill. a tank I have never built befor!Looking very nice indeed Ian
This is a tank that I've wanted to take on for a while now.... and looking at yours coming on there makes that even stronger
Andy
The house was built when men was men and bricks were bigger, solid clay, and got carried up ladders in a hod.Looking good Andrew. Nice variation in the brick tones. Wouldn’t like to have been the brickie though….twelve inch by three inch bricks must weigh a bit…..
Andrew,
That is coming on nicely.
That is looking very nice indeed Andew.

That is going a long way to making it look realistic. A good all-over wash like you mention will both blend them in more and give a bit of variation in tone, so it doesn’t look like a modern house that has been built to look old(er) by using a couple of different colours of brick Adding stains where water would run down, like from the corners of the window sills, also goes a long way.
