Keith 😁 Hi Keith, Many thanks for your like and kind comments, i'm glad you like it. With the size of the model, I ended up with a large amount of material and pigments, and I was "moderate"... Cheers Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay safe Roger Hi Roger, Many thanks for your like and kind words, much appreciated. It has been a bit challenging, because camos, for me at least, are always somewhat complicated, I feel more in my comfort zone with vehicles in a single color, although it may seem otherwise, it is very easy for me to modulate and break the linearity the unique color... With a camo, it's as if my "schemes" were "broken"...now that I think about it, it's not one of the objectives of camouflage, to confuse and distract....😅 Cheers and TC Francis👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Superb Francis, you've done an excellent job with the weathering, as usual. I really like the super realistic accumulation of dirt, leaves and mud around the running gear. Nice touch having leaves carefully scattered around too. Great work Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work Darryl Hi Darryl, Many thanks for your like and kind comments,i'm glad you like it. Curiously, I think I get better results with pigments than with specific mud products (which I also have, although I rarely use them...lol), apart from the fact that I prefer dry mud to wet ones, I think it is more difficult to work with, so that it remains "authentic" and not a "hodgepodge" that makes it look like a sloppy and/or rushed job... Cheers Francis.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, those tracks are interesting, with a somewhat strange appearance, without fenders anywhere, totally exposed. Cheers Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately I have been quite happy with the result, I was worried about ruining one of the "good" and expensive kits, but thanks to the putty, the stains are easier to do, although masking is a slow, tedious process, and you have to correct it often. I already have one more model with camo in the collection, I think 5, still in minority... Cheers Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
