      Here's some of the grey basecoat going on . . . there will be three shades of grey: medium, medium-light, and light.



      This picture perfectly shows the color gradation (CM) between the three stages . . . from light to dark . . .

      Here is another good picture that shows the three colors being used. Remember the body already has 3 grey shades in the modulation. The tanks in the back have the medium-light shade, and the turret is still in the medium grey shade, and this gives you an idea of the subtlety. I hope you can see it.



      Another angle:



      And one more:



      Let me know what you think, please . . . there's still PLENTY OF MORE WORK to be done on this one!

      Here's the body before masking . . . I mixed a little bit of khaki and the med grey and then using the Micron C I added a bit more interest around details and panels . . .

      Here's the taping for the cammo, a really random pattern, so let's keep our fingers crossed . . . see what happens . . .

      All right, the moment of truth . . . the unveiling of the paint . . . I have to say I like it but now it's just crying out for some chipping and weathering (LOL! A build is never finished!)

      Doctor Cranky is salivatin' for this one to get some weathering but I'm going to start the weathering with the chassis and the Zombie crucher/crusher/roller first!

      Here are a couple of more pics, hope you won't mind:

      Amazing what can be done with a mix of parts and a good imagination, I wouldn't know where to start with something like that.
      Looking forward to the weathering, keep it coming.

      Thanks, chap. I'm letting everything sit overnight to dry thoroughly and then I will have more tomorrow. Stay tuned in . . .

      Virgil just a question about your procedure, you go to so much trouble to get shading in your base camoflage colour of grey but then only put a single tone of the second camoflage colour, the brown. Do you think it would generate a more even effect if you did the shading over the two colours so apply the grey and then the brown and then applied filters over them both?

      It seems like such a lot of the earlier work with the grey has subsequently been covered over with the brown camoflage.
