Steve - thanks. Pity the stencil didn't work
Jack - probably looks better from a distance
Peter - thanks. It has toned down a bit now after the filter and wash
Smiffy - is that
the Mr Smith, he of the green paint. Good to see you again. Drag your Sturmtiger of the shelf and get it built!
Jim - the mask looked good but didn't really work in practice. I actually ended up brush painting the patterns.
Graeme - thanks. we shall see
before starting working yesterday morning I applied a layer of migAmmo filter for three tone camo - basically a posh name for brown - and left it to dry all day
last night I applied 'filth' to the insides and a wash of brown for german yellow on the outside - again posh names for brown. Hmm, i think there is a pattern to these migAmmo potions - they are really all just brown with different names applied to the bottles
left it to dry for a couple of hours then wiped most of it off again with little foam make-up sponge sticks and odourless thinners
this is the result so far
