I can't wait for the big reveal! :popcorn:

Me too, hopefully I’ll get around to the black on Thursday, then I may let it cure a bit before unmasking everything.

Quite simply: WOW! Great work, all that masking has paid off handsomely.

Yes I’m very pleased with the result. If I ever get it to a real life club meeting it will make a great talking point :)

  • Marklo changed the title to Trumpeter 1/35 Challenger 2 - Digital camo on!!!!

C0-E255-CA-EBDD-4-FD8-940-B-8892-D0-EDD7Greeblies ready for paint. I’ll spray them in the light green, then attach them then hand paint the other colours as necessary.

A9-B24-CA1-D0-A3-4971-B5-D0-95-B11420-DAAll bits glued on and (almost ) all the paintwork finished.  I’ll do some light weathering and dust/grime as all the photos show quite a clean machine. 
 

I must admit I’m loving the look, well worth the masking hell that was the digital camo.

Weathering, just some streaking grime and some pastels for mud/dust.

Streaking grime cut back with a tissue, a hen a brush finally a cotton bud soaked in white spirit. Tones down the camo a bit and brings it all together.
Just need the pastels to dry then brush the dust effect back.
