While the gun will cure until tomorrow... I jumped on the tools and did some serious brush painting.. The tools !

First some wood imitation with both acrylics and oil, not that satisfied..
Then the metallic parts with first Tamiyas X-10 "Gunmetal" and drybrushed with Tamiyas X-11 "Silver".
The "holders" are then painted either in "Earth yellow", "Light olive green" or "Red brown" to match the camouflage where they belong to on the tank.


The final touch & some corrections will come the day the entire weathering process will start for the "Black 212".
Unfortunately the carpet monster has secretely visited my bench.. The ax has disappeared mysteriously... :hmm:
And the crowbar is still untouched and attached on the sprue...

No, Carpet Monster! You cannot have this! Have you found the axe yet, Kari? (Is this not somewhat strange that the axe has disappeared?) I do hope you find this!

Not yet (I'm positive), but I just cannot understand where it is...
:sad:
