Yet again, refusing to learn any lessons from life, I'm going for the worn-out, parked in the sea, tough life look. I may just be trying to get it out of my system....
I started this kit around 30 years ago. The rear sprockets kept breaking off so back in the box it went.
I'm using it as an exercise in chipping & subtle rust work but hoping I might get it to look complete and decent.
Anyway, I've primed & painted over the awful winter camo I tried to do, I'm going to leave the drivers compartment "as is" with maybe a bit of highlighting, re-do the winch house & then try and hone my skills on the hull & running gear without resorting to covering it all in mud & crud.
Pics.
Bit of primer...

As it was for 30 years.

Going to try and liven this up a bit

This is where I ended up earlier.

In reality I'm looking at this as practice for having a bash at the Takom kit at some point., but I would like it to work out ok.
