Thanks Pete, Project eraser's? Now there's a thought!  The colour has come out far better than I thought it would. In daylight it looks even better! Hope to have the decals and weathering done by tomorrow, then its finished and onto the next one  Regrads, Steve |

How do chaps, Managed to get some 'stickers' on it this afternoon. Nothing too fancy, just some red/white/red flashes, census numbers and a couple of other bits and bobs.     The census numbers came from an old Tamiya Cromwel sheet, and the flashes and squadron signs came from a Bison Decals sheet for the Sherman in Italy. I know that some may say 'thats not right for' and so on, but its meant to be a general vehicle. So to all you rivet counters out there I say...  The detail painting was done with Games Workshop paints, which i'm fast becomming a fan of, as they dry fast and the colour is good.  A wash to follow then a bit of light weathering and some detail painting on the tracks and I reakon its done. More to follow soon, Regards, Steve Just occured to me, with those flashes on it looks like a recruiting tank for the Peruvian Army!!!

Happy modeler

Hi Steve. Nice one matey, I see you went for the MG in lower mount. Looking very good. Them gamesworkshop paints be the best in my opinion , but it all depends on what subject your aiming for.You should get a vent(outlet) or a window to open for them fume's lol.

How do chaps, Been tinkering with the weathering today, and this is where I'm at.      The weathering has mainly been a couple of washes with Games Workshop Badab Black and Devlan Mud, which is a mucky brown colour. The model was also given a light drybrush of GW Khemri Brown, which is almost identical in colour to Humbrol Dark Earth. A light dusting of MIG Industrial City Dirt was applied into the nooks and crannies where dust might gather. Just the tracks to sort and a drybrush on the wheels, then a blast of matt varnish and its done. Comments welcome. More to follow soon, Regards, Steve |
