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...

Fantastico lavoro! Molto bello!

I think that those words are complimentary Thank you sir! Now to get the Miniart figures finished up....

so now onto the home stretch... (yeah it's about 99.5% done now but...)
radios for the interior mounted after painting...



sandbags drybrushed...



and how the little beast looks now overall....







and now to get those dang crew figures painted up properly...
