Just seen this one Aaron and it's nearly over great work by the way and the painting looks very good indeed even without the wash. But I understand what you mean about meeting your own standards.

Looking forward to more

It all looks good to me Aaron - in such a small scale, I think a stronger, deeper

wash is needed to add sufficient depth.

The tracks & roadwheels are great!

Well, I can see the pictcures now. I like the camouflage job, splatters aside. The overall wash seems to have brought out a number of highlights, even before you have done a pin wash. The wheels and tracks are awesome, nice work.

Thanks Ian,Patrick and Joe.

Chipping done, I love this stage and find it hard to put the sponge down.

It's pretty hard out but I had a lot too hide.

Some rust streaks

And just for funsies I used some tinsel for turret optics.

4 of the slots are moulded closed and I should have opened them up in the build stage but meh. I want to get some dirt on the running gear and hull then pigments on the tracks and road wheelswheels.I read about using pigments through a airbrush so I might try this for the road wheels.

Nothing wrong with a nice bit of chipping Aaron! I like the use of the tinsel & I'll even forget that German optics were a green tinge! ;)

Nice, so what you have done is add chipping and then rust effects with a piece of sponge?

I blame the box art.

Just caught up with this. Cant be said in single words so..

This is bloody awesome! I can't begin to believe that this is 1/72nd scale.

Love the colour, the camo, the chipping, rust and dirt. Great work!
