Hi Tony I like your choice of colours for the camo (I never use the right colours, I choose what I think is the nearest one ) keep up the good work.

There for a second I thought you were going to buy a farm but you're talkin about the little dozer,right?

 

[Deleted member 5819]

Very nice Tony,that one thing I over do is the pin wash, probably because I use hairy sticks, but you is spot on .
Pete.

 

[Tony Lee]

Pete I use one of those hairy sticks too It's a small fine pointed one. I just touch the rivet or seam lightly and let the wash run down or around where I want it. If there is too much I take a clean thinner damp brush and blend the extra into the surrounding area
.
Thanks

I sprayed the dust coat this morning applying more on the front and rear with less on the sides.
Three shades of sand and dust pigments will be laid on next.


Almost there Ian

looks very nice indeed

 

[Armorguy]

You keep going Tony, the camo looks really well executed. The washes do the trick and ùmake it more interesting.

 

[MikeC]

Tony,
Just caught up to your build, and the paint finish is superb, that is how 1/35 scale squaddies would have done it, if you understand what I mean. the outline is not picture perfect but has the look of running out of paint, great.
Cheers, Mike.

 

[Tony Lee]

MikeC, I didn't have any narrow tape so I had to wing it,just what you would expect from GIs in the field.

I'm calling it FINI anyway before I do any more damage or it gets out of hand,Less is More they say.

Hope you guys enjoyed the ride and Thanks
