Thanks, Kenny. Your feedback is always spot-on. The wheel mix was because the Vulcanized color was too grey. Happy accident, I guess. In this pic, it is actually straight Sky Grey.

It’s good to see some paint going on this one Lyle. And agreed with Kenny on how your second attempt at painting the tires came out better!

Thanks, Stik. I had hoped this would be a "fun" type of build. For such a simple camo scheme, this is making me crazy. I need fingers about the size of a piece of sprue to fit in some areas. I guess I should have masked before assembly. But, we will get there.

Thank you, John. Time to quit for the day and go have some lunch.

I thought I posted my finished paint. Not great, not symmetrical along the spine, but I'm sticking with it. I want to simply finish something.

I need suggestions on fading or wreathing the finish. Please.

Painted with Tamiya XF-19 Sky Grey as the lighter color and XF-54 Dark Sea Grey with XF-2 Flat White added. It seemed to lay down very nicely.

Well, if you’re gonna paint teeth on a Hog, why not be in the best group?
