Excellent paint and weathering Rob!

Chris, Roy, Philipp - Thanks for the kind comments Fellas.

I like the way that Trumpeter supply metal cable for the tow hawsers

It is commendably bendy and IMHO the equivalent of Karaya - Take a Bow Trumpeter



The tow hawsers are held in PE brackets that were fiddly to bend and fit

However it all sat nicely in the end....





I had nearly a whole days modelling Lots of progress.
I changed my usual method of weathering the tyres and used AK Earth effects to paint on the tread and then sprinkled pigments on

A nice tip form Rick Lawler who has done a weathering exercise usin this vehicle on the ~Mig Ammo web site is to use Dark Wash on the inner rims to simulate moisture - works a treat - Many thanks Mr Lawler

The aim is for grimey which has (I think) worked









I need to fit lights - do final details and weathering and then open up the hatches. Maybe a couple of figures and a base and I might even finish this Group build at the front

Thanks for looking

Rob

And BTW - as I was searching the web yesterday fro some BTR details I came across this pic.



YO! So my placing the decal on the lower right because it wouldn't fit on the upper shield Wasn't completely daft.

I shall sleep better

This is another seriously great build Rob

The reference photo at the end could be you GB photo shot, they look just like each other

The pigments on the wheel arches is really effective and I can see what you mean by varying the tones and adding wet and oil/grease staining too

Very nice work Rob

'nuff said....

I believe the phrase for that in Welsh is Well tidy

Chris

Stunning! Even more so when we have a roughly equivalent photo under it proving that it's really, really close (maybe even better !
And yes, I also love the Trumpeter tow cables .


Best regards

Very impressive Rob. I love the weathering on it

Vincent

Thanks Gents - much appreciated



The Master Club figure on the left is simple the best sculpting that I've seen in 1/35 - Superlative

The Tank figure on the right is good but the stance is a little odd

Both are primed (Mig ammo Grey)





And an afternoons painting using Lifecolor exclusively..aiming for this









And for the other figure I'll try this camo..
