Superb paintwork Raoul

How did you do the black liner?

A sharpie?

I would be rightly ""well chuffed"" after all that AB work

Just super

Have fun with the weathering and chipping next

Thanks Adam, Vincent, Steve! :D

Steve - no sharpie, just the brush, chiefly because upon looking at a lot of photos of French tanks these lines come both in regular widths and irregular ones, so I didn't feel obliged to go through the extra effort to keep them overly clean - I will however still go ahead an copy another feature of some French camo and that is little "hooks" or semi circles in black extending from the line into the colour field, I think it looks like a comic style attempt to generate further suggestions of structure which isn't there (and I suppose that's the intent) and it looks really cool (primary consideration here, given the subject of the build :lol: ).


An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.

Here's the aforementioned additions, I think they turned out looking surprisingly nice, if I may say so in my unutterable arrogance and unspeakable vanity :oops: ;) .
