Drybrush! And don't make it too clean. The nice thing about armor is if you mess up, you can easily cover it up. Case in point; my Cromwell. The bag and box on the rear fender are there to cover a gap I left because I got ahead of myself and didn't prefit.


Oh, thanks for the compliment.

It's nice stuff. Too bad they don't make more in 1/48 scale.

Howdy Bret,

Great looking work there!

I really like the scratch built wagon, did you draw up a set of "plans" for it or just "build it"?


Have a good day,

Greg

Just built it. Strips of sheet styrene, a toothpick(axle), and wheels from a 25mm scale ACW cannon.
