Today's updates...
this morning I applied the decals...




and then after lunch I applied a flat coat followed by a dusting coat....





Looking at these photos, I think I will add a dusting of pigments either later this evening or tomorrow morning, and then call this one done...

Well it's time for AMPS, so I am off for now....

nice treads Oh well the tank looks sharp also

Good to see this one here finished! Maybe a little bit to much contrast on the pin wash but on the other side this looks interesting! Well done!

I went for a more stark wash here, as I had a feeing that the final weathering would tone that down and blend it in... Which it has... I am still gonna do a bit more in the next few days before I call this one complete...

Woo hoo! More filth and dirt!!

No AFV in the desert is ever clean...

I am gonna put some radios on the right side sponson inside for some visual interest. So I found these in my spares bin. They have a general resemblance to the two different types found in the real vehicle.



and then on Tuesday before work I assembled up these sandbags for the glacis, based upon a photos that I found of one so "decorated"



and this morning I painted them up in Humbrol Khaki Drill



a little drybrushing on them, some pigment dusting and then this build will be fully completed...
