PlaStix Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Yesterday and today I ended up using these, which I managed to pick up last week: To get the Centurion looking like this: I need to do some final weathering before getting some photos taken for the gallery. Comments and suggestions welcome. Kind regards, Stix 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper_city Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 That's looking stunning Brant. Looking forward to finishing mine someday. It's a great looking tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Oh blimey, now I'll have to buy all the other bits as well! That looks great Stix, I hope I can do something similar with mine, what did you do with the shell cases to make them look used?

BerndM Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Your Centurion is a definitive eye catcher, Stix. The camo netting around the barrel and the lovely made details give your tank much realism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Thank you all for the very kind comments, advice and support. I have managed to get it finished and into the gallery. A couple of photos: The Gallery photos can be found here. More photos can be found in the RFI section. Thank you again to anyone who contributed to this thread and to the hosts of this GB - especially snapper_city - for making it such a well run and thoroughly enjoyable GB. As I mentioned before this was my first proper 1/35 AFV build and it certainly won't be my last. Comments and suggestions welcome. Kind regards, Stix 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Oh blimey, now I'll have to buy all the other bits as well! That looks great Stix, I hope I can do something similar with mine, what did you do with the shell cases to make them look used? Regards John Hi John. Thank you as always for your comments. The shell casings were first given a wash of thinned Humbrol acrylic matt varnish. Once dry I then applied a very thinned wash of Revell's Gunship Grey. Before the latter was completely dry I added some patches of thinned Revell Rust and Anthracite - these sort of bloomed into the thinned grey. It was all very thinned and built up slowly. Hope that's of some use. Kind regards, Stix Edited December 30, 2015 by PlaStix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I used the word 'stunning' earlier on in the thread Stix but it's doesn't seem enough now. I believe MAGNIFICENT would now be more appropriate Cheers Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
