I'm always a little paranoid since there is so much that can go wrong with decals, from silvering to outright destruction thanks to clumsy sausage fingers, agressive softener or just bad quality..... :?

I'm not really experienced when it comes to weathering desert vehicles, but I guess a little brown wash couldn't harm:

In any case the main step will be a generous layer of bright dust. But first some flat clear coat once it's dry.

Thank you Steve :)

It'll just be a piece of dune with the Dingo stuck in the sand, and this fellow observing the scene:

Thanks guys :)

The Great White Hunter will just stand there, gazing at his catch...or at least what he thinks is his catch. As a member of rural Prussian nobility with an uncle who served in the colonial troops a war earlier he of course set out to Africa to find honour and glory and trophies for the fireplace :lol:

Projects? Oh well......uhm...... :?

The Dingo, the Valentine, the BA-10, sometimes the sinking KV-2 turret....oh and the Whippet I just bought, which is completely OOTB and will have some photos posted once it's done :oops:
