great work, with this Bob,
do real like the look you got with the weathering,and over all paint work,the added
PE,do it so much ,with the added bits and bobs as well,
your done so very well like it a lot,
I really like what I see here Bob - and the use of Vietnamese red mud dust was very cunning, and realistic looking!!!
I've not seen that pigment/wash before... Gave me ideas!
I applied it with a dry brush, really scrubbing it in to the texture of the plastic. I then went over it with a brush dipped in odourless thinners, most of which is taken off on a paper towel (a la dry brushing).
It's the same technique I used on the Bradley and gives a nice dry dusty effect.
